Often ssi payments received by a child can be used as an offset toward
child support.

You are confusing SSI with SSD. Makes me question accuracy of the other
information on
your website. FYI: SSI is Social Security for indigent disabled people only.
There are no SSI
payments to dependents. SSD, on the other hand, is SS for disabled workers
based on their
prior earnings. If the earnings are such that the SSD provides more than the
basic necessities,
the worker's dependents may also receive benefits. If so, the benefit amount
is typically
credited toward the disabled worker's child support obligation.


Although the thread was not about a disabled child, disabled children
can receive SSI. I am not certain if there is a reduction due to the
parent's income or not. If not, the child has his/her own income from
which he/she is supported. If that be the case, shouldn't the SSI be
an offset to support obligations?

If a *child* is disabled, child support received is considered in the
household income to determine the amount of SSI need. SSI will
not lower CS. CS will be used to *lower* SSI payments. Too,
if a child is receiving SSI, the child is most certainly receiving
Medicaid/public
assistance, in which case, the CS will go to the state.

then she has to go on welfare (she is disabled and unable to get a
job). She thinks that she might be able to make it through the winter
if she can increase the father'schildsupportfees. She is pretty
certain that he is making a lot more money now than when he was
originally ordered to paychildsupport. She was told that she could
not take that to court unless she was able to prove that his income
has increased. Does anyone know why she needs to prove this herself
and is there any way to do this? Is there a way to get access to his
tax records or something like that?


thanks,
John


Some reason? Maybe like, say, the fact that he's a seasonal worker?
And for that matter, spring's just around the corner. Has she thought
about taking a job, second or first? How about going for a promotion,
or working overtime?


Yes she has definitely thought about taking a job. She would love to
have a job. She was very happy when she was working, and now she is
depressed and stuck at home b/c of a car accident and various other
ailments. I don't think she is in any condition to be working at all.- Hide quoted text -

If she were the one PAYING the support and gave these same reasons to
a judge for not paying child support, she'd be in jail...somehow, we
are supposed
to feel bad for her luck...but if the shoe was on the other foot,
she'd
be called a deadbeat...
