It is welfare fraud to collect SSI or other benefits while in prison.

If she is receiving SSI I don't think she can also receive child support. My grandson gets SSI because his father is disabled. It's more than most men pay for child support.

I think it depends on what you are receiving it for. For instance my sister gets SSI for a disability...to supplement. I think it is a either/or for her. You need to check with your provider for the details. Be sure on this question. Not to say that you may not find it on Yahoo Answers...but I would call and talk to them my self if I were you.  Since you are only 15...you will have to have you parent or guardian do it for you.

Patricia--if you're disabled and raising two children (not your own?) you should apply for every service your county has to offer you--ie food stamps, medical assistance, care taker supplements or cash aid, if available in your state.  The state will be compelled to collect partial repayment from the father (and mother if these are not your children.)  You won't have to wait for a deadbeat to pay--the state sends you the aid and collects partial repayment.  Your child should also be eligible for benefits off your social security if you haven't been collecting that already.  After you've applied for EVERYTHING your eligible for THEN go to your child support office and give them any information you have on the children's father (and mother).  If you do have an order for support and he is only making partial payments he still owes you that money.  Agencies are reluctant to take people who are 'making an effort' back to court because it encourages those who REALLY are trying to quit.  If he is just gaming the system--demand your case be enforced and he be taken back to court and held in contempt.\n\nGood luck!

If he was a minor or unable to manage his own finances,then the mother as the payee should be held responsible for paying back the money owed.He shouldn't have been receiving SSI benefits if he is able to work,it is the payees responsibility to report any income changes to SS immediately.\nYour best option would be to have HIM contact SS directly and speak to someone there.While I know you want to help,it really isn't your place to get involved since you are not directly involved in the case..He has to deal with this on his own.

Yes, but your individual workers must know about the arrangement. They will give you your money appropriately. Just as you can work while on SSI also. There is a limit so you should ask your worker about it too. Hope this helps.

Your story is inconsistent with normal operation for tax collectors.  You should provide more detail as to who is doing all of this stuff.  It is not at all uncommon for tax examiners to question if a child being used to qualify for Earned Income Credit lives with the taxpayer and to require some proof of that if there seems to be a question.  If children are removed from the taxpayers home by a social service agency that has nothing to do with the "tax collector".

Benefits for minor children through SSI are to be used for the benefit of the minor children.  Not for their latest CD or whatever.  For their food, shelter and basic needs.  You can spend it on whatever you want, but raising kids is not cheap.  If your kids think they should "get" the money directly, then set them up on a budget.  On paper, they get X amount from SSI per child. Take the amount for each, take off a portion for the rent, food, clothes, whatever is left, which won't be much, can be given to them as their allowance or something.  This will also help them understand finances and budgets.  Explain to them that they are not going to get rich off SSI!

In "Jail" probably not, child support will very likely accrue if a support order is in place but if he has no income, he can't pay it...in Prison, in many states, if he has a job inside, his wages will be garnished for child support, and any fines or restitution he owes.\nFor the details in your jurisdiction contact the County District Attorney's Child Support Enforcement Division.

This is considered petty theft\nYou will have to go to court and pay at least $250.00 in fines\nYou will also have to enroll in a Social Help Program attending at least once a month for 3 to 6 months and pay a $75.00 per visitation\nYou will not be on probation but this will stay in your record forever

Yes, they are correct. Technically the child would collect any social security that the parent would have been entitled to when she became eligible for social security had she worked. Unfortunately, since your daughter was so young she didn't have any social security "credits" available for you to collect for her son. I am sorry to hear about your daughter's death.

Yes, it is possible.  All this individual would have to do is secure a job.  At that time he/she would simply contact SSI and inform them that "they were in luck and found someone that would hire them.\nAt that point - SSI would stop their payments.

I don't think so, it would affect your SS payments if you are collecting SS.  You will need to contact your local SS office and find out for sure.

Yes they do collect benefits.  I honestly don't know how they are managing so much in benefits and for so long.  They must have changed the rules again or something.  Because no-one I know would have ever qualified for all they are getting.  The living arrangements alone would have never been acceptable.  Alot of these kids would have been placed in foster homes and the parents charged with neglect.

SS helps cover different situations.  Disabilities, survivors, etc.  Depending on why you are on SS, your children may or may not be able to get money.  But any money the government paid them would not off set the child support.  You would still be obligated to pay that as well.\n\nYou can call SS to ask about them getting money, but you will still have to pay child support.
