Husband and BIL have been working to make my MIL a US citizen for a while now. MIL is over 80 years old. After qualifying for a medical exemption so she didn’t have to take her citizenship test, she was finally approved recently and will be sworn in soon. I learned today that BIL and husband are planning on applying for disability for her as soon as she’s a citizen, and then MIL plans on moving back to her home country permanently, where she also receives that country’s version of social security. MIL is currently living with us.
There’s a lot about this situation that doesn’t pass the smell test for me, and I’m a bit worried that this could have repercussions for me or my family. What, if any, are the potential consequences, and what can I do to protect myself?
