<<Your mother in law must have been receiving SSI, which is a form of welfare for people who have not earned coverage under OASI. It is not paid for by SS taxpayers, but by the general treasury as a form of welfare. A few years ago, your wife would have been obligated to pay for the support of her aged mother. >>

She was receiving widow's benefits from her late husbands Social Security account. She was also on Medicare which is part of the package. Wife and I paid the rest. She had several $100k which she gave to her church.
