[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again.

My mom only collects SSDI. She was not eligible for social security retirement. My wife always disagreed with my moms choice to collect disability and then watch my sisters children 40+ hours/week.

And my parents took out a reverse mortgage on their house years ago. They owe more than they have in equity so I doubt we would receive much in inheritance. There is a lot of debt and very little assets. [/quote]

Sorry to say, but if your mom had truthfully told the SSA that she retained the functional capacity to care for a child, much less multiple kids for years and years, disability benefits would never have been approved. SSDI was meant for people who are genuinely disabled, not for stay at home mothers or grandmothers choosing to help out with childcare full time or close to full time. If your mom was caring for kids because your sister was out working, your sister was also complicit in lying to the government that entire time your mom was receiving SSDI.

I can understand why your wife is putting her foot down. Your sister is a taker and this is the start of your family taking on more and more financial burden unless your sister steps up.
