Can a disabled child receive Social Security Disability and child support?

Dependent children of disabled people who qualify for Social Security Disability (SSDI) are typically eligible to receive monthly benefits to offset the cost of their care until they reach age 18 (or age 19, if the child is still in high school at 18). The child's benefit is calculated based on the disabled person's maximum family allowance (varies by individual) divided by the number of qualifying minor dependents.
These payments may be used to cover living expenses for the child, but are actually the child's benefits, not the parent's, and will be issued as a separate check or direct deposit. The parent or another legal guardian will be appointed as representative payee and handle the money, but must account for how the money is used each year.
Under certain circumstances, a disabled person's spouse may also qualify for a small monthly benefit.
If you believe these circumstances apply to you, visit your local Social Security office or call the SSA toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213. You can talk with a representative between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, EST. Be prepared to answer some automated questions first, however.

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.
