What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
In a divorce, the mother is primary custodian of two children. The father is on SSDI. The two children receives SSDI each under their father SS number. Currently the mother is representative payee for both children.
The question is how that income for the two children "classified". Father continues to say "he is paying child support" to mother when the two checks for each child is really government's money, and follows the children for their basic living needs, whether it be mother or a guardian.
So, is the money called "child support" or not.
The answer helps the mother because she is often uncertain whether to put down the children's amounts on some applications (e.g., free/reduced lunch program) under "child support" or that is not to be reported, etc.
Thank you!
