Re: CHILD SUPPORT AND FATHERS WHO RECEIVE SSI

More | Report Post

The court did the right thing.
SSI cannot be garnished to pay child supoprt.
The presumption is that the amount the SSI beneficiary
receives is the minimum it takes to sustain the
beneficiary's life. Thus, there's nothing left over to pay
child support.

No one said life would be fair for you or your child.
That's just the way it is, and, no, it is highly unlikely
that the law will ever be changed to make an SSI beneficiary
pay child support.
