Can We Charge My Son For His Share Of Insurance Premiums?

My husband has private med insurance and my son gets ssi he's 21. My son gets Medi-Cal and the private med ins as part of his dad's (dependent til age 26)

I am his Rep Payee and our son pays share of cost to live with us. Can we also charge him for his share of the ins premium monthly?
Thanks

Hi,

I believe so, but I can't say for sure. You may want to check on Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/payee/.

Best, Jerry
