So my dad dies a number of months ago (please no condolences, he was a POS), and my chronically jobless older brother asked our sister and I if he could have the full social security payout. When I say chronically jobless, he has some seriously in-demand skills and experience, but he doesn’t have the formal education because he never felt like going to college (which would have been paid FOR him) and he absorbed our dad’s personality from living with him this whole time, which I’m sure is the primary reason why all his interviews fall through. Now, Im minorly pissed off because we let him have basically everything dad had owned, but I say yeah sure whatever, I’m not about to start any drama over this. well turns out he either filed wrong, or SS made a mistake, because I get a check in the mail for half. He has no idea, our mom has no idea, so I cash that shit.
