snowbeardvc asked:
I agreed to become Soc.Sec. payee for my disabled son when his mother was unable to continue as his payee. (I am also disabled and at 74 am barely getting by on my Soc.Sec retirement money.) It took 3 months to get Soc.Sec. to make the direct deposits into the bank account set up for my son with me as his payee. He had been in a board and care home and San Bernardino became his temporary payee. Two checks went to San Bernardino County after I was appointed as his payee. For 3 months waiting for Soc.Sec. checks to be deposits, I had to pay for all my sons care and expenses, food clothing, tools and many other personal items that he needed to restart his life over again after leaving the board and care home. When we first asked San Bernardino to return our money, they denied even having it. It took months for Soc.Sec. to send us copies of the checks that San Bernardino had deposited in their Bank of America account. They have now refused to send me the money. NEED HELP.
Their reason and excuse is that at this time I am no longer my sons payee. They refuse to accept the fact that I was my sons payee at the time they took his checks and kept them. I had to pay all his expenses and just need to have that money replaced so I can pay my mortgage and taxes that I am now behind in. My son was forced to return to CA from here in AZ when he was unable to get a drivers license because of of a foul-up in CA records, in order to get work again. I am in NO position financially or geographicly to sue San Bernardino County to get my money back and they know that. So would appreciate any help that anyone might be able to give me. I do not want to loose my home, because of this situation. So assistance will be greatfully appreciated…
