Jan: I know in Pennsylvania I cannot exceed owning anything over $2000 being on SSI. A lawyer told my parents that they can leave their money in a Trust for me that one of my brothers would be responsible for seeing my living conditions are met. I would never own the money or if my brother has the house in the trust he would own it. I am eligible for SSI because I will never own the money or anything that exceeds $2000. I would see if you could do this in your state and then see if anyone in your family you can rely on to hold the trust for you to have when you need it. I understand your frustration but the best thing you can do is apologize to your parents for blowing up at them. They probably understand you need to get out and do things. When you calm down please let them know how you feel Stephen Allman
