The answer

Your mother must return the money to Social Security and abide by their directives. She is not permitted to dispose of it, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Furthermore, it is not permissible to consume wealth unjustly, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, do not consume your properties among yourselves through falsehood." As for your uncle, he can apply to Social Security himself if he is eligible.
