The situation is a crock but unfortunately the government will not pay back social security benefits. The hard line for when she gets her benefits is from when she applies. However, if you can show that the government mislead her about the benefits, for example if the S.S. administrator she spoke with mistakenly told her she was not eligible, she might be able to recover some of the back benefits.
Additionally, if the accountant was in a position to know about the benefits and didn't tell her through negligence he might be liable for what she missed.
Either way I would suggest she schedule an appointment with a Social Security or other Administrative lawyer who can advise her of her rights and options. Many attorneys offer free or low cost initial consultations. To find attorneys who specialize in S.S. call your local county bar association.
