If the child's RSDI (not SSI) benefit is based on the father's SSA account, the amount of the benefit counts as child support. In many cases, this means that the father owes no additional payment.

If there is a court order for support that order should be adhered to regardless of any other funds that the minor child may be receiving. If the obligated parent believes there is a discrepancy in the issue he or she should contact an attorney and/or the department of child support enforcement in the state where the child support is being paid.

SSA [not SSI] payments for a child that are based on the obligor's SSA retirement/disability count as support paid - e.g., support obligation is $100/month; child's SSA is $200/month; therefore, obligation is met and obligor need not make any additional payment. (However, the extra $100 cannot be carried over to meet other months' obligation.)

Yes. Her SS check is considered to be like a paycheck. If, when the origianal support order was issued, she had zero income, you may qualify for a child support review.

I know if you receive SSI or SSDI you have not paid enough into the Social Security fund to receive legitimate Social Security so therefore it cannot be garnished for child support. So if they were not gainfully employed long enough to accrue some social security they do not have to pay you support.

Child support is an obligation, social security is a source of income. They really have nothing to do with one another. If you are asking if she can garnish your social security, the answer is yes. Section 459 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 659) allows Social Security benefits to be garnished to enforce child support and/or alimony obligations;
