Legal Question
misappropriation of SS funds ?
I know a 72 year old man who was granted living privileges in a private home. As part of the undocumented arrangement, this man's SS checks go into an account that his ''hosts'' have full access to. There was a strong disagreement at some point (not SS related) and the ''hosts'' threw the old man out. Now they refuse to return his clothes or furniture and they refuse to agree to cosign for closing the SS account so this guy can find a place and have control over his own money. Bottom line is they still have access to his checks and he is virtually homeless, although, another family has kindly taken him in.
