What is the name of your state? Indiana
The wife of a guy I went to HS was approved for SSDI three years ago, supposedly for Marfan's syndrome, heart disease, and who knows what else. She wasn't able to walk, due to her many disabilities, and medicare paid for her to have an electric wheelchair as well as oxygen full-time.
Two years ago, she was arrested and charged with murdering her grandmother. When she was taken to the jail, they informed her that they did not have the facilities to care for her medical needs, and therefore she would need to be transferred to the state prison system until her trial. A miracle happened, and within days, she was able to walk and all her medical problems cleared up. (Yeah, right!) As a result, she was able to stay at the county jail until her trial.
She has just been convicted of the murder, and will be sentenced soon. Will her children be eligible for social security on her record while she's in prison?
I think they won't be, since she's now a convicted felon, and the state will be paying her expenses for the rest of her life. Also, due to the way she was "cured" of her disabilities, she is no longer disabled.
(No, I don't believe she ever had anything wrong with her. And, yes, her husband still thinks she is innocent and that she does have all these health problems. He's a nice guy, but he's extremely naive.) We all think she's a scam artist, and we're all glad she got caught before she got tired of her husband and killed him too.
Thanks!
