The debt is still owed to the deceased's estate, consider it an obligation towards the child rather than the deceased. Since the child is over 18, and since this payment is free from clams of creditors against the estate, the back payment will most likely be disbursed straight to the child.

The exact procedure depends on your state of residence, but generally, if there are assets in the deceased parent's estate, they will be filed in the probate court in his county of residence and you will need to file a claim for diversion of assets. You should consult an attorney, a child support advocate or the clerk of the family and/or probate court.

There is no relationship between the two items. Up to 85% of the survivor's benefits may be taxable, depending on your other income. You could probably sue the estate, if there is one, for the back child support. I suggest you consult an attorney about this matter.
