My friend, an 82-year-old SSI recipient living alone in California, was stranded in India due to the COVID-19 lockdown and incurred significant expenses for a new ticket and medical treatment. Upon returning to the US, he was hospitalized and later admitted to a nursing home for long-term treatment. Social Security now demands repayment of six months of SSI benefits totaling $6000, which he cannot afford. How can he avoid paying this amount, given the extraordinary circumstances and his current financial situation?
