Just so you don't misunderstand, he is correct on that point. The money
for a dependent child is to be spent on the child's behalf. It is *not*
a free ride for a parent or parents to spend the dependents SS money on
whatever they want. For example, you can spent an appropriate percentage
of her funds on housing or food. The check is *not* there to cover the
entire housing costs or 100% of the groceries purchased for the entire
family.
