Hey, I am launching my first software to the public (it is an open-source extension to the existing learning platform Anki). It is called the Itanki and Ankiego Method. There should be a YouTube video on the planned launch date, so you can google it and find the project. We review all the code in the 80-minute video, so no downloads are necessary (the video is so other people know where to find stuff in the code). I want to say everything should be ready by July 20th. The code is done and debugged, but I am doing a gofundme to cover my costs (I am making a video, and editing takes way too much time). Anyway, I think it is some "simple" python code that drastically improves that platform, and I am giving it away. Feel free to make my code better once you got the "#wizardcodingskillz". So yeah, wanted to share that with you guys and Ian. I am going to try to memorize a whole textbook a la Musk using Anki and my extension once I am done with it. Peace peace, gotta go do stuff. Sorry for my grammar and run-on sentences. -Sincerely, Smaug
My husband retired so my son is now receiving Disabled Adult Child benefits based on husband’s retirement benefit, rather than SSI.
But I believe the maximum monthly SSI benefit is around $840 this year (it creeps up every now and again). Ian is not getting the full amount because you are not charging him rent. In this case, “rent” is something of a fiction, he is still living with you in the same house.
You need to find out who at your local Social Security office is in charge of his case and ask her/him to start this process. It includes submitting documentation of your mortgage and utilities so Social Security can run their calculations and decide how much rent you can charge.
Once that is put in place, take the rent Ian “pays” you (take it out of the payee account), deposit it into your household account, and then write a check from the household account to Ian’s ABLE account (google NJ ABLE account to learn how to set one up). Ian is allowed to have up to $100K in an ABLE account and it will not affect his benefits eligibility.
One more note, make sure the payee account is not in the same bank as the household account, for some reason Social Security doesn’t like that.
I can’t comment on what services Ian is entitled through NJ because each state handles Medicaid for disabled people differently.
What appears to be the same in NJ and my state, Ohio, is that a government sgency pays the service provider rather than give the money directly to the disabled person/person with financial responsibility. I suspect this is part of the federal law, it is a control to prevent the misuse of funds. Basically, they don’t want parents using the money for themselves. (Of course you have to be at Rick Scott’s level to really defraud the government).
