Re: Sister collecting brother social security check
If someone else case his checks he get the money from Social Security because he never received the benefits he was entitled to. Social Security will treat the theft of his check as a crime and prosecute the person who has been receiving his check. He should go to the nearest Social Security
office with his birht certificate, drivers license and social security card to see about the benefits
he never received.
