Yes, your mother can sue your cousin to recover the money.

You cannot collect his benefits until you reach retirement age if you are not disabled.

The big question is out in Oz will they accept medicare as payment? You won't get SSI, that's for sure. Generally you can move and get your social security--many retired to Poland for example and collected. But SSI doesn't cross borders

I'm assuming you don't qualify for Social Security Disability under your own earnings record. If you file for divorce but are in the household you may have issues. If the real issue is medical care, you may be able to apply for adult basic. Suggest you speak with a local disability... View More

You have Internet access; presumably you have a telephone. There is no reason on earth you need more than three months to find an attorney to take your case (if it is a valid case). So in my opinion the ALJ will not grant a further continuance.

on plan vs lump best advice you will get is from a real CPA (NOT the "we have saved people from IRS debt" places that advertise).

I'm assuming if you got snap and MA they would have signed you up for aid to families with dependent children (ADC) if you haven't already got it. You should check with SSI to see as you are the caretaker relative for the child if you can get a spousal benefit. Otherwise talk to Legal... View More

I think you may be confusing Medicare and Medicaid. Your father has Medicare Part A and B. Unfortunately, Medicare will only pay a portion of a nursing home bill for 100 days - max. Medicaid will pay for the nursing home bill if your father qualifies. If he does not qualify, there are strategies... View More

If you want to sue her, you will have to be able to prove that you were damaged (i.e.: lost money) by her conduct. Can you do that?

My guess is the Social Security Administration doesn't have venue rules requiring that a matter be adjudicated in the state in which the applicant resides.

Get an attorney on your side.

For what type of case? It is always advisable to hire your own attorney.

You did not give enough facts here, so the best thing to do is to actually talk with a social security lawyer.
