Can I receive child support from a person who receive SSI benefits?

You should be allowed an equal portion from the funds the other seven receieve. I don't know if they all receieve equal amounts or if the seven existing checks being sent will be reduced to make an equal portion for your child. If you know his social security number, contact the social security office in your area and they will advise you on how to proceed. If you haven't seen him in 6 years, what makes you think he will express an interest in being a part of his daughter's life? Your child is certainly entitled to her portion.

Your child has a legal right to a portion of his social security. Exactly how much i dont know either but regardless if you go thru child support enforcement or a social security office they will tell you exactly what to do.

I had this same issue with my daughter. Social Security tried to tell me that I would not get a dime of his benefits, because they do not deal with Child Support. What it comes down to is that your ex gets so much money in a "pot" from SSI-just like my ex. Part is for him & the rest is split evenly among his children. If he doesn't TELL social security about your daughter, he gets more. If YOU tell social security about your daughter with him(just like I had to do with my ex) your daughter will start receiving a monthly direct deposit from SSI, just like he gets. It will be her "cut" of the money that is set aside for the children. Social Security REFUSES to call it child support of course...but it is rightfully your daughter's, & her caretaker(which is you-her mother). FOLLOW THROUGH & GOOD LUCK!

You want to take what little money that a disabled person gets. What is wrong with you? You know many people are willing to adopt kids if you don't want to take care of them.
