My son gets survivors because his father is deceased. He is 18. He also gets SSI. I continued to get mother-in-care after he turned 16 because the SSA determined he was eligible as a DAC.

I recently updated his information with SSA in one of their annual reviews. Even though he was not living with me anymore, they continued to give me mother-in-care. I am his legal guardian. At that time, he was staying with friends. He just recently got into housing, and later this year he'll move into college dorms.

Will I continue to get mother-in-care for my disabled adult son as long as I have legal guardianship and continue to parent him, regardless of his living circumstances? Currently his living situation is listed as no permanent residence (from when he was staying with friends) and I continue to get mother in care. He gets long term care from Medicaid so I don't have a full time job attending to him, but I manage his PCA services and he still requires significant attention from me. I am "on-call" 24/7.

If I ever became ineligible for mother in care, all the survivors would shift to him, he would get too much for ssi, and our finances would both change. I just need to know if that could ever happen, and under what circumstances could it happen. Thanks

Mom
