SSDI checks for kids

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

My X receives an SSDI check monthly as well as my 2 sons. I have had full custody for 6 months but she is still controlling their checks and refuses to document how she is spending their money. What are my options to get control of the checks to insure the money is properly used.

My ex has started receiving SSDI. We have three childern togther. How do I find out if they get any benifits and how do I receive them? Do the benifits come in each childs name?

Hi Cann,

Each child may qualify for auxiliary benefits if they are under 18 or enrolled full time in school. You will have to contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 or make an appointment to visit your local office.

If my child’s dad receives SSDI can my child receive it? He’s not on the birth certificate and I am not able to get child support from him because he receives SSD. He’s willing to put his name on BC. He’s agreeing to everything just didn’t know if it was possible. Or what steps to take.

Hi Sue,

For your child to receive auxiliary benefits, the father receiving SSDI would need to be listed on the birth certificate. To apply for auxiliary benefits, the you'd need to visit your local SSA office.

I have full custody of my daughter and support her fully who is 3. The mother has no visitation rights unless I allow it. The mother said she is applying for SSD and wants to have money sent to my daughter, is that considered child support?

Hi Tyler,

Auxiliary benefits (the benefits your daughter may be able to get under her mother's SSDI) are not the same as child support. They are two different programs.

My husbands 2 children receive ssdi benefits around $780/month through his case plus he pays over $650/month out of his disability check. Isn't that double dipping??

Hi Michelle,

Well his children are able to receive auxillary benefits based off of his record, only until they are 18 though.

Hi Paris,

Child support and disability benefits are two separate entities. But since your son's father is receiving SSDI, your son may be able to receive auxiliary benefits under his father's record.

I just got approved for SSDI. My ex-wife and I have a child in common. I was told that my child can receive monthly SSDI benefits. The SSDI amount that my child would receive, does that come out of my SSDI benefit amount??

Hi Meme,

It could have been because of the household income increased, which stopped her benefits. You can try to appeal the decision.

My sons father receives a good amount of disability a month and he just added our son on to his disability

I am also his payee because he had no one else

I am moving soon and Our three year old will be living with me

I know child support can’t be deducted from disability payments but would my son get any type of payment out of his SS sent to me to support him?

I am guessing yes because when his daughter moved out but was still in school she was still getting the payment and it was being sent to her new address after age left

I am just hoping I would get some kind of help from him supporting our son when I move

Hi Tracie,

If your son's father is receiving SSDI then your son may be able to get auxiliary benefits. He will have to claim your son as a dependent for him to get them.
