This happens all the time.
Had a family friend who’s daughter basically subsidized her drug abuse with SSI payments.
She received a lump sum at the beginning that was pissed away on the same too.
She finally died of cancer a few years ago. The sad part is her kids had been taken away when they were babies and thrown in foster care.
Her daughter by some miracle turned out OK for the most part but the son is a homosexual who had been adopted by a single gay man. Go figure. He’s an absolute mess now.
A friens’s brother uaes his SSI (he is batshit crazy) to buy drugs. Then he begs from his siblings.
