But if you have a special needs child going on or just turned 18 I would implore you to get the POA taken care of ASAP. I made the mistake of letting my (husband’s step) nephew who had lived with us through high school turn 18 without having it, the minute he got SSI his low life parents begged him to come home, spent ALL of his retroactive benefits, kicked him out again and cashed his checks for years, telling him that he had stopped getting it. Needless to say he still calls us when he gets in trouble, and he does. Thankfully I have kept all of his medical records which has gotten him out of an AWOL charge with the Army (I have no idea how he got accepted in the first place) and another jail stint out of state. We have still not been able to get his SSI reinstated and as of last week he is living in a homeless shelter in California. <br /><br />Sigh. <br /><br />If I had known then what I know now…. I have no doubt that he would have still gotten him self into trouble, i would have been better able to protect him (from himself and his parents) financially.Sunday Koffron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859347065249826781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-78276857294971752602011-03-26T12:36:57.727-05:002011-03-26T12:36:57.727-05:00That's a tough one!

I recently let T stay at one of my friend's homes for a week and I was pleasantly surprised - he was very pleased with himself for managing himself well through this little episode of relative independence and he learned things about being a guest in someone's house and making friends.Lulu McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002084871872201948noreply@blogger.com
