Call the SS office and ask to speak with  a supervisor or someone in charge of the office. If that doesn't produce the check contact your State governor

You can not take a deduction for them. If they had a social security number and lived here and you pd 50% of their support you could. You might see if there is a non profit (like a church) org that you could donate to that would help your family. That would be the only way. Bless you for taking care of them!!!

go to www.socialsecurity.gov and from there click on social security office locator. you can get up to $832 a month tax free money when you or your child or anyone have a disability. I have a disability and i get 832 a month. they pay ssi + social security disability. hope this helps! good luck. Hi also... it's always better to have proof of the disability such as a doctor's proof or diagnosis. Apply at your local social security office and you can call them first. i'm in california and different states pay different amounts but they pay enough money and depending on how severe the disability is and how long it lasts you can get it from 3+ years till your child dies.

If you mean social security the answer is NO!\n\nThe only time any SS is deducted would be if they happened to make a lot of money other than SS.....

If you work and are on Social Security, you can only earn $860.00 gross (before taxes) a month, otherwise they can stop your Social Security payments and you would have to pay back what they paid you unless you can prove the overpayment was not your fault (i.e. you didn't know how much you can make at work) or that it was the Social Security Administrations fault (i.e. they did not tell you how much you can make at work).

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

You heard incorrect information. Social Security is only paid to people that contribute to the fund. This is normally done by payroll deductions or direct payments by self employed people.

look in your yellow pages under gov. look for dept. of disabilities.  if your son was diagnosed before the age of 21 the state well pick up the whole bill. as well as fund anything else he needs.\nif you son has social sercurity then you know about red tape and hanging in there sometimes it is very easy and sometimes you have to patient.

Do you get SSDI or SSI?  Since you state that you worked all your life, I'm assuming you get SSDI.  Both are for disabilities, but SSDI is based on your income when you were working.  SSI is a type of welfare since it is for those who are disabled who did not work long enough to earn enough credits to qualify for SSDI.\n\nIf you are on SSDI, if you die, you daughter will be eligible for a monthly benefit check until the month when she turns 18 years old, even if she has not graduated from HS yet.  Your wife may be eligible for a check if she is caring for your daughter and does not have an income that exceeds a certain amount, which I believe is less than $1000 a month.  If your wife gets remarried, I believe her benefit check would stop, although the check for your daughter would continue as long as she is not adopted by a stepfather.\n\nYour daughter should be getting a monthly benefit check already since you are disabled and receiving SSDI.  If you are not receiving benefits for her, go to your local Social Security Office with her birth certificate and her Social Security Number, and apply for benefits for her.

Yes, AND since you say you are collecting SS benefits, you also have to report your earnings for which your benefits will be reduced.  It's through a certain age, things have gotten complicated since Congress has tried to "fix" SS.

If they each have a social security number, are legal residents, earn less than the IRS limit for non-family member dependency, and you paid at least half of their living expenses.  In other words....NO!!!!

Money from SS can be used for whatever you want.  As long as you could afford it without lacking priorities, I'd say it's okay.\n\nAnd BTW - nice avatar.

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.

Since he is on disability, you can only draw on his record if you have a child under the age of 16 AND if you do not earn over a certain amount per month.\n\nOnce you reach regular retirement age, you can draw regular social security based on whichever will give you a greater benefit, your's or his.

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.

you would really have to check with the agencie. most states count child support as income so it counts against you benifits. missouri has some weird laws about benifits and stamps. good luck.

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.
