[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - Does your brother qualify for HEAP, Food Stamps, etc.?  Do you and DH claim your brother as a dependent for tax purposes?[/quote]

Yes, he collects food stamps (gets the EBT card filled per month) and a small housing stipend.[/quote]

He gets a housing stipend when he has a fully paid for house? That sounds fraudulent. [/quote]

Another Red Flag in this story. :roll: [/quote]

My brother would be homeless without us. He used to live with my parents and my parents were struggling financially so a social worker helped my brother get disability benefits. The housing stipend was calculated based on his share of my parents' home expenses. It was causing my parents too much stress as they aged and had health problems of their own.

DH is technically my brother's landlord. There is a lease. We also have other tenants.

My brother would have been placed in a group home. This broke my heart so DH found a solution.[/quote]

Your post makes no sense.  NO housing stipend from a social worker/gov't is based off of estimated costs of living with your parents.  He doesn't need a 20,000 car.  He may have been better off in a group home with supervision and services.[/quote]

Have you filled out social security disability paperwork before?

It asks if my brother works. My brother has never worked one day in his life. We pay for his car, phone, utilities, etc. None of these are under his name. He does not earn income.[/quote]

Yes, I used to do it professionally and I did it for a close relative whom we care for as well, only we don't complain about it or make it a drama as you.  Your post keeps making no sense.   There are two types of disability, one with a work history and one without.  Without the pay is very low, but you do get medicare.  Given his disability, he should be getting medicaid, food stamps, utility assistance, rental assistance and more.  Max benefit is    $733.  http://www.ssdrc.com/disabilityquestions3-69.html[/quote]

He does get medicaid, EBT and a direct deposit of almost $900. He does live in a different state. He has no income and no assets.

Not sure why my post makes no sense. I gave up my job to stay home with our children so that DH could focus on his career. DH earns a high income and has no problems with my spending on myself and the kids. I would like some money set aside that I can spend as I wish. I would like to spend this money on my family.

I wanted to know if SAHMs had money allocated to them. I already admitted that I should not have used the word paid.

I have working friends who have fun money accounts and/or separate savings accounts. Since I don't work anymore, I would like to have about 5k transferred to an account per month. Right before DH fell asleep, he said he is happy to give me his bonus. I think he meant I could do whatever I wanted but I did not mention my family at all today.

The post got derailed because of my brother's disability. Maybe I should have said my mom has cancer and can no longer work. I don't think that part matters. I am more interested in the financial arrangement of SAHMs. As of now, I have my retirement savings from when I worked. I have not added to my individual retirement after I quit my job.[/quote]
