Q: Is it against the law for my mom not giving me my SSI check?
My mom has a disability so shes not able to work therefor she receives an SSI check for her, me and each of my sisters. She always spends it on herself and never gives us a dime. Is it wrong that she is not giving me my check?

You won't get denied just because you don't have an attorney, but you're much more likely to be successful if you have one.

Q: I was recently granted disability. I asked my lawyers office if that included social security and the girl said no
Social security office said that I can’t apply for both. Which is correct?
Ask the Lawyer in the office not the "girl".
Q: Hi my wife is younger than me and on SSI disability. I am at full retirement age. Am I allowed to apply for spousal SSI
Spousal SSI and then delay taking my own SSI until a later date.
I am afraid there is no spousal SSI which is a welfare program. If you are at full retirement age, then you can apply for your Social Security Retirement benefits.
Q: can social security have you thrown in jail for overpaying you 10s of thousands of dollars
This depends whether or not there is fraud on your part. Usually, Social Security just declares an overpayment and asks you to pay it back.
