1099

[holly1217]

I was notified verbally that my dad was awarded AA and to expect a check next month.  For my dad's comfort level, I currently have family caring for my dad. My questions are as follows:

a).  Do I need to provide them with a 1099?

b). One of the caretakers is in his early 70's and receives social security.  I've been paying him $300 per month to provide companionship.  Will the $300.00/mo lower his social security payments?
