84 Year old Mom lost social security benefits, dept of homeland security said shes in the country illegally?? Im 37 and shes lived here since 20 prior to my birth
I got a notice in the mail that my mom is unable to receive social security benefits because she is in the country illegally. She was married to a man probably 20 years before I was born (she had me at 47 years old and im now 37 years old if you can do that math.. been here a long time)and got her citizenship that way I guess? My mother is in a very advanced stage of alzheimers and has no idea who I am or even who she is most of the time. The issue I'm having is I cant for the life of me figure out what the heck changed between last year and this year. She is in a skilled nursing facility where shes been for about 5 years, but her rent owed is stacking up significantly. I thought the reason may be that ive never renewed her green card but have read that that isnt usually an issue. im so lost, im so tired of being responsible for someone who never was responsible for me, im doing my best but im at a loss. I also just found out that we never had her power of attorney paperwork signed so its not even valid. any help or suggestions would be amazing!!!
Sincerely, a tired daughter who needs a break 😭
