Is the social security benefits payee for a mentally disabled person personally liable for that person's debts?

The person, acting as a fiduciary or trustee of the SS payments, is responsible for those assets being properly used. He may be responsible to assure the needs of the person are taken care of as best available...but NOT financially responsible to do so.
The mentally disabled person is unable to legally contract, except perhaps for his/her own basic care needs (which should be taken care of by the payee), hence they should not have any personal debts.

Are parolees eligible for social security due to being incarcerated?
According to the social security website, the fact that a person has just been released from prison does not constitute him as disabled and he is therefore not eligible for benefits. (FYI, if he is physically or mentally disabled and incarcerated he may qualify and even be able to apply for benefits as he nears his release date.) Hope this helped. http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10133.html

I assume you are referring to Social Security's "disabled adult child" benefits. I believe that if you marry, you may no longer collect DAC benefits, unless you marry another DAC. Call Social Security for clarification.
