Talk with a local attorney about what the law is in your jurisdiction regarding its statute of limitations.

I assume she forged your name (or did she have a power of atty?) if she did forgery is a felony. Report it to Social Security and to the police. sue her for any loss if you think you can collect (I doubt it).

Yes, but there is a statute of limitations. You should talk to a lawyer ASAP.

Yes, you should file a lawsuit soon. Many causes of action need to be brought within two years. Conversion, or theft, usually has a longer time to file the lawsuit, depending on your state's laws.

Yes you can recoup the money from your sister if you are able to prove she took it.
