If the parent gets retroactive benefits (as in their disablement was 2 years prior to benefit approval) than the child recieves retroactive benefits as well. Courts won't allow additional payments out of a parent's disability benefits. Not sure how it would be handled if a person began collecting benefits and already owed back child support prior to the disability date or was collecting SS Retirement. I know my ex didn't have to pay while his claim was pending. I think they garnish payments of any kind that are not disability related (ie tax refunds are intercepted). |
Welcome to the community forum VegMom.
I sure wish you had a link to the website with that information.
The custodial actually has to report how the money is spent. That is news.
See I told it right that child support is deducted from Social security.
