My X receives an SSDI check monthly as well as my 2 sons. I have had full custody for 6 months but she is still controlling their checks and refuses to document how she is spending their money. What are my options to get control of the checks to insure the money is properly used.
My son does not receive an auxillary check although I am on disabilty. What can I do?

Hi There,
If you did not add him to your application then that may be why. Or if you are receiving SSI then your son would not be eligible as auxiliary benefits are only for those on SSDI.
If you are on SSDI and he is under 18, you can apply for him to receive auxiliary benefits by visiting your local SSA office.
My son’s father is retired and I receive SSID for my daughter every month thru him. I was wondering if i can give him a child support while my son is still collecting SSID.
Thank you

Hi Katty,
Disability benefits is a federally run program and child support is decided by the courts, so they are separate programs. If the court mandates child support then that does not stop when receiving disability benefits.
I never married my sons dad. He receives disability check monthly. How do I get my son to receive a check from his dad?

Hi Christa,
If your son is a dependent of his father and his father is receiving SSDI, then your son may receive auxiliary benefits under his father.

Hi Tab,
Even though her father is incarcerated, your daughter will continue to receive those benefits as long as she remains eligible.
My son was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and I was told he qualifies for SSI, I have an appointment next month. I was wondering how much he is going to get?

Hi Karhy,
It all depends on the household income, cost of living of where you live, and your son's needs.
I’m on SSID. My son lives with me one week and his mom a week. She is the sole payee for my dependent. I am struggling while she’s remarried and doing well, collecting state benefits illegally (husband works full time, yet they are “estranged”). She doesn’t work. Can I change the payee to myself? I need it to care for his needs much more than she does. I’d even be willing to “split” his dependent pay. This was not court ordered, only voluntary on my part. PLEASE HELP!

Hi JB,
To change the payee to yourself, you would need to contact your local SSA office. I am not qualified to speak to the specifics of you case in particular so the SSA office, or a lawyer would be your best bet.
I have been on SSDI since 2015. I adopted a child in 2018 is he eligible for auxiliary benefits?

Hi Julie,
Your adopted child should be eligible for auxiliary benefits if they are a dependent, under 18 and are not married.

Hi Tonya,
If you receive SSDI, your son is a dependent of yours, under 18 or enrolled full time in school and unmarried then he will likely be eligible for auxiliary benefits. Be sure to list him on your application if he meets the requirements.

Hi Claire,
To change payee you will need to make an in person appointment. Ideally you would have all parties involved at the appointment.
I’m disabled (ssdi). My son (now18) lives with his father. My sons father did not want to receive auxiliary benefits for our son when I became disabled. My son would like to know if he can collect his auxiliary benefits now?

Hi Susan,
the only way to receive auxiliary benefits at age 18 is if your son is still enrolled full time in school! If he is, then he may be able to.
