Thanks for asking Just Answer: If he does not qualify for SSD for insufficient work quarters there is very little you can do other than if a past employer failed to correctly report his work and you can prove this. Insufficient work quarters is a hard and fast rule and based on exact work history reported by employers. Unlike a disability determination there is no grey area. As for SSI: If he were to give you the property to pay you back for past debts then this would have to be documented completely. If you are going to try and get him qualified for SSI, it is possible to do something with this property and for him to qualify. He needs to see an Elder Law attorney to help with the transfer and documentation to make sure you get it right.
