Q: If not rent, what is it called? i know is a form for rent that gets written and signed, what form would be needed now?
I pay 150 dollars every month on the 20th to be able to stay at my familys house. She says the money goes to the cable and wifi bill, thats in her name. Im not allowed to call it as rent, what would it be called? I believe it's because she dont want to claim she gets rent because it will mess up her SSI income
A:
Whatever you call it, it is 'income' to her (whomever 'she' is ....) and it may or may not disqualify her from receiving SSDI, Without seeing the details and discussing what is REALLY going on here -- for example, why do you care what it is called?
If this is causing you or her issues (and it sounds like it may!) you and/or she need to consult with a local attorney to review the situation and insure that this won't cause long term issues or open someone up to fraud claims with the SSI people.
