Extremely upset about something. First my mom died 10 days ago and dealing with all that but have a legal ques

I think you are allowed some amount of money with out them taking it away , look up on their web site , I dislike S.S.I. right now becuase I have not seen a dime in five yrs so I know they are horriable to deal with . Just have your uncle give you cash pay him alittle , And dont declare it , I dont know!! But I know how little someone can live on ,,I am in the same boat ,, But no one has died and left me any money ,, I dont think your dishonest,, your just trying to live ,, do what you have to !! good luck and sorry about your loss!
