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.

They don't deduct child support from SS Disability. The benefit for the child is in addition to the parent's benefit just as if the child was living with them. Next time you get your annual Social Security statement take a look at the sections regarding Disability and Death benefits. I think the benefit for the kids is equal to 1/2 the parents benefit for each child up to so many (3 I think), then the rate per child is less. The only difference being that the custodial parent recieves payments for the child and oversees how they benefits are used. This is considered in lieu of court ordered child support. I recieve benefits for my daughter, but have no other support order other than the generic "must contact states atty with any status change".

Anytime you act as a payee for someone recieving Social Security who is unable to handle the money themselves (ie minor child, grown mentally disabled person) you must fill out a report every year declaring how the money is spent and/or saved. It's been like that for as long as I can remember. My mother had to complete those forms every year for the SS Death benefits I recieved after my father died.

Still, I don't know what they would do if you had a standing support order in effect before the disability date and owed back support. The court in St Mary's did not order anything while my ex's disability case was pending (he filed as soon as he found out I was taking his ass to court ) and we didn't recieve a dime other than the retroactive SS benefit.

Too bad you're living proof your plan won't work. Kinda takes the "zing" out of it, y'know?

That is news? You don't even know how the current system works, yet you think you can fix it?

I can understand a candidate not understanding the intricacies of an issue like the the problems in Integrated Deepwater System, the LCS program, or FEMA, but not knowing about the cornerstone of your platform? If you don't bother to learn about the issue that is most important to you, how could anyone think that you'd be able learn about the myriad other issues that a congressman has to vote on?

Running for the House of Representatives MD 5th District?

Hoyer's seat??

As in the House Majority Leader's Seat?

Oy vey!

And even he went to the MD Legislature first. I remember- he was my parent's attorney back in the day.

This is a really impressive post.

I am so pleased to see some one else on here that knows what they are talking about.

Welcome aboard.

But Hoyer is pro abortion and I am not.
