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 brother is currently incarcerated and needs a copy of his son’s benefit letter. He gave me a notarized letter, his ID and the child’s birth certificate. His mother is being very bitter and does not want to give it to him. My brother is fighting for his life! and is untitled to the letter I feel because he is listed on the birth certificate and that’s his son. Please help me. I don’t know what else to do.i also have a list that the lawyer ask for documents and his son’s disability letter is listed I can bring it into my local office. Please help. And no he does not live with him if that is going to be a question. Thank u help me save my brother. God bless.

Hi There,

I would recommend calling the SSA and speaking with a representative who may have his information available.

Hi. I have a court order for past due child support. I have my kids though. So when they calculated how much of a benefit my children receive they based it off of the percentage I actually get which is only 40%. So my children are not receiving the full 50% of my actual amount I get. It comes out to be about only 20% of it. Is that right? Shouldn’t they receive 50% of the whole amount? Thank you!

Hi Jill,

It could because the SSA has an overall household limit of 150% of your benefits. So your children might not receive the full 50% to keep you under the limit.

My daughter receives a disability check because I am on SSDI and she has graduated from high school and now is going to college. Does she still get the check while she goes to college.

Hi Curt,

If she is enrolled full-time in school, then she should be able to receive the auxiliary benefits.

Hi Alex,

If your daughter is a dependent of her mother's, under 18 or enrolled full time in school and is unmarried then she may be able to receive auxiliary benefits!

I currently collect disability both of them. I received my benefits after I was divorced.
I have a 14 year old son who also receives benefits through me. I had to apply and he was awarded the benefits.
At the time, my ex had a DVI against him.
I had full custody of my son and now my ex is a convicted felon as he tried to kill me. I had to send my son to Boarding School for troubled teens because he was physically and verbally abusing me. I have been using his monthly money to pay back loans as my ex would not help pay for it.
Time Sharing has changed my ex now has 100% physical custody and I have parental rights and visitation. My son wanted to live with his father. Can he collect my son’s disability? At this point, my son does not qualify for it anymore due to his rehabilitation at Boarding School. He is doing great in school, has lots of friends, etc.
How do I go about letting SS that he no longer needs these benefits?

My fiancé got approved for SSDI. We have 2 kids together ages 3 and 4. His mom is currently his care giver because of his brain injury. My question is do I have to apply for my kids to receive benefits or does his mom need to apply for them?

Hi,

You will have to change the payee in person. Make an appointment with the local SSA office and try to bring all parties involved. The daughter, the mom and the new payee. The will be able to dive deeper into this specific case and let you know what your options are.

My ex is signing custody to me of our son, he currently gets my sons SSDI checks and I'll have custody starting next week. How do I go about changing my ex getting my sons checks when he won't have custody of him when I will. I already have a savings account in my sons name for his checks I just don't know how to have the money deposited in his account when i officially get custody. My ex has never given my son his checks and doesn't even spend it on him but his other 4 kids instead. My son hasn't even lived with his dad since he got custody he's been staying with his grandparents. I don't want my ex to continue getting my sons checks since he will no longer have custody of him. what do I do?

Hello,
I am legally blind and receive Social Security disability income. My adult son (23 years old) receives supplemental security income due to autism. I was informed by Social Security he is eligible to receive A auxiliary payment due to my Social Security disability income. Is this accurate and how do I apply for said benefits if The information is correct.
Thanks in advance, Robert

Hi There,

As long as she is still a dependent of her father's, then she should still receive the auxiliary benefits.

I receive SSDI and my children receive auxiliary benefits as well. I am currently rly in a custody battle with my ex husband and he wants 50% custody. Will their benefits be in jeopardy if they are not with me the majority of the time?
