A man and a woman got married, had children and later seperated. Two of the children were on their own having graduated from school. A set of twins were living with the father until he became critically ill. They moved back in with the mother when the father could no longer take care of them (age 14)- father passed away. No divorce prior. The mother (unbeknownst to the twins) had been receiving social security benefits in the name of the children up until they turned 18. They directly received payments until they graduated from high school for approx. 8 mos. The mother and her new husband used all of the money prior to their 18th birthday - $2600/month (1300 apiece)- did not save a bit for the twins. Blew the money on their wedding, honeymoon and their fixer -up house. The mother even went as far as charging the twins $650 each/month for rent from their 18th birthday until graduation.
Is there any laws against this? They stopped receiving payments upon graduation from high school. Do payments usually continue if they are enrolled full time in college?
