Legal Framework & Guidelines
The Dollar-for-Dollar SSDI Auxiliary Credit
When a parent becomes disabled and qualifies for SSDI, their biological or adopted children often receive a monthly auxiliary dependent benefit check directly from the Social Security Administration.
In almost all U.S. jurisdictions, this auxiliary benefit check is credited dollar-for-dollar against the disabled parent's monthly child support obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SSI and SSDI for child support?
SSDI (earned through work credits) counts as income and allows auxiliary benefits for children. SSI (Supplemental Security Income, a needs-based welfare program) is exempt from child support in almost all states.
