How do I go about getting custody of my half-brother (12)? Both parents are willing to give me custody. Do I have to g to court?
I do not see a way around you not going to court. I am also concerned as to why your parents would give up custody, and if on active duty you would be granted custody. I suggest you contact the local child protection department where your half-brother lives, but know that this could lead to him being removed from your parents and placed in foster home until things can be worked out.

If your step-father received money from Social Security for time after his death he was not entitled to it and it needed to be sent back.

Child disability benefit denied.
The only way anyone can receive SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is if they are a U.S. Citizen or if they were granted some form of political asylum in the U.S. So based on your question I would say no she cannot receive benefits.

Attorney answers:
Can my child get social security her father has died and he was getting disability and social security from his mother?
Your child cannot receive the money that her father was drawing on his mother's social security (I guess he was disabled before age 22?). If her father had put in to Social Security on his own, from his own work or if he was receiving Social Security Disability on his own work record then she would probably be entitled to some money depending on her age (either survivor benefits or a continuation of her benefit based on her father's Social Security Disability).

Attorney answers:
I live in NY and receive SSD monthly. Can I receive any other benefits monthly like public assistance?
Your $1200 will be considered income by NY. If New York considers a person who receives $1200 a month entitled to public assistance then you can qualify. Getting Social Security Disability is not an automatic bar to getting public assistance if you qualify income wise.

Attorney answers:
My mother and step father married for 30 yrs..they lived in the philippines.He died 4 months ago.Is my Mother entittled for S.S.
A person is only entitled to Social Security Benefits if they or their spouse worked in the United States. So based on your question I would say, no your mother is not entitled to Social Security. She may be entitled to a retirement program from the Philippines if she or your father worked in the Philippines.
