disability or social security for my daughter
background: I have never recieved child support. paternity established 11 years ago. My daughter's father has a criminal and mental health record. (In / out of jail). we dont know where he is . got away from him becuase it was unsafe and unhealthy . My question is : Can I go to the federal building /social security office and ask for disability of her behalf because of her dad and his back ground. I do know for a fact that he does not receive any government money. He actually refuses it. so his child/child's mother does not get any money. Anyway. can I do that?
