<prompt> Human: I got a call from my mom yesterday; she wants me to manage an account for my autistic brother. He gets welfare or social security or something due to his disability, but there are restrictions. The relevant restriction here is one which reduces his payment during periods in which his total savings exceed 2k.My moms idea is to have my brother send me regular payments that would keep his savings under 2k, and I would hold on to it and possibly invest it to help it grow. The upside for my brother is more significant savings for the future; the upside for me is a more stable and happy family.Im wondering if theres a notable downside to this. Will it affect my taxes? Are there possible legal ramifications? I want to help, but I dont want to get blindsided by some legal issue. Does anyone on here have any solid advice?  <response>: Well, its fraud, right? Youre basically hiding money from the government?
