First off yes you can only if she has not claimed him on her taxes because the child can only be claimed once on a tax form because they go by their social security number, Next if she has not claimed the child then you have to have supported the child 51% of his clothing, schooling, eats, housing and care in general. If this is the case then yes you should be able to claim the both of them only if she is not filing and claiming the child herself. Also the child tax credit is only 800.00 this year instead of 1,000.00 like in 2005. Well I hope that this info has helped you and if you need more info her is the web site to the internal revenue service.\nwww.irs.gov

Actually you wouldn't ask for social security benefits in the fathers name cause if he never worked he never paid anything into the account.\n\nSome people think the government has all this social security money just sitting there waiting to be asked for.  That money was put there by the American tax payer for his/her own retirement.  \n\nIt originally was intended for the American worker to have funds taken from his pay check each week to be put in the social security account, so that when he/she was to old to work, they could retire and receive a few hundred bucks a month (could be compared to a savings account, which our government appears to be giving away to others who haven't put a dime in).  It doesn't even include medical, needless to say it in itself isn't enough money to live on.  \n\nSo contrary to what the govenment says, retirees still have to work after retirement to make ends meet UNLESS they also have put money in a personal retirement account.  Trust me there isn't going to be 70 million Americans retiring from work in the next few years, it just isn't financially possible.\n\nI have a family member who thought she could retire at 63 years old after working as a nurse for 20 years.  Her health is bad so she quit her job after filing for Social Security benefits, she got the benefits but doesn't qualify for medicare until she reaches 66.  So she had to go back to work even though she's physically not able.  Yet they'll give it to those who've never worked in the US, such as new people in the country, children and babies?  \n\nSome Americans that have worked still don't qualify for it cause they didn't work long enough, they haven't earned enough points.  If I remember correctly you need something like 40 points.  Working about 10 years while paying social security taxes usually qualifies the person.  To many people in this country only pay sales & property tax, while collecting social security, medicaid and other benefits, thus the pot is about empty.\n\nIf you're illegally in the US you can get all the benefits, SSI,  HUD, medicaid, WIC.  If you're a white American, you may be out of luck, our government discriminates against white folks.  However your baby can get WIC, food stamps and Medicaid.  You can find all these in the phone book.

SHE HAS TO REPORT HIM LIVING THERE.  BUT DHS AND CHILD SUPPORT WORK TOGETHER NOW.  IF SHE DOES NOT TURN IN THE FATHER TO CHILD SUPPORT SO DHS CAN COLLECT THIER MONEY FROM HIM SHE WILL LOSE HER MONIES.  ALSO IF HE IS REPORTED SHE AND HE WILL HAVE TO PAY BACK THE STATES MONEY.  AND THERE ARE ALSO SOME DHS SYSTEMS THAT MAKE THE MOTHER WORK FOR HER SMALL CHECK.

Possibly.  There are alot of variables that have to be considered first.  Just because your child receives special education does not necessarily mean that your child's disability and level of functioning qualifies them as meeting the disability requirement to receive SSDI.  Even if your child's disability meets the criteria from the SSA for a qualifying disability you may still need to meet financial needs criteria before your child may be awarded SSDI.  Some states have a deeming waiver where the parents, or part of the parents assets are not counted towards the childs income limits for assessing SSDI award, but this is not true for all states, or all disability qualifications.  You have to investigate what your state has for SSDI programs.  You may also be elegible for Medicaid insurance for your child, or other state specific programs targeted at assisting families and children with disabilities.  Your state Dept of Human Resources would be a good place to start asking these types of questions.  \n\nIf your child is a candidate for SSDI disability you will need to collect documentation from as far back as when symptoms of the disability first presented itself.  You will also need financial documents and all assessment documents.  It is a lengthy and involved process.  The good news is that if you are successful then the SSDI award is back dated to the date of application.

you will recieve some money for each child under 18 that is the biological child of the mother.  this will be based on the amount of disabiltity the mother recieves monthly.

The check will come in the childs name and a payees name .The SS office worker will screen the person to be  payee.Whoever takes care of the paperwork should mention about the father and ask that great grandmother be payee.In any case the father wouldn't be allowed to spend it cause he has to show that its being used for the child's benefit.Its the childs money\nMy son gets a survivors check and the SS worker screened me \neven though I have custody.It doesn't matter who has custody\nThis is in p.a.

This sounds like your neices are in big trouble.   Have you thought about just circumventing the failing system.  Go to their mother and ask her to let you have them to take care of.   She can still claim them as hers for food stamps, income tax, etc.   You get the kids.  She gets the money and benefits from claiming them.  They are safe with you.  Make sure this is a VERBAL Agreement!   At some point go to a lawyer and get a custody agreement so you would be a guardian of the children.

yes she can as long as you both agree to it then you will work with the other family to have arrangements for the pregnancy, delivery, and after the baby is born.

You automatically qualify for food stamps & medicaid for your children.The state goes after the father of your child or children for child support. You should also qualify for CCMS.They pay for your child care so you can get a job.You can choose a day care or a trusting relative to care for them. Be Blessed!

as a former caseworker YES they do. Let me break it down, the federal government has a program called TANF which gives a monthly stipend to people on welfare as long as they participate in training or some form of education. It is received for a limited time depending on the state. If you dont participate, you don't get a check. Illegal immigrant mothers can receive the money only for their children and they are not required to do anything for this monthly stipend. Its free money for them, same thing with food stamps which many illegal immigrants get also, the welfare application even states that their information will not be shared with the department of homeland security.

The simple answer: yes.\n\nIf someone has the right sources at their fingertips, they could do anything. Someone could use your name to find your mailing address, and use your name and mailing address to pull up your credit report, which would have your social security number. With a little bit of research they could find out your mother's maiden name...you see where this is going.

It depends on where you live and how much SSI you are getting. You can call your SS office and ask them.
