What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NA for this thread.
We constantly have people coming here who don't understand why a first child or children should get more support than subsequent children, or than children in the home of the ncp.
The way children's benefits work with SSDI, is that 50% of the parent's benefit the the benefit amount for the children, which if you add it all together, is 33.33% of the total of the two. If the SSDI recipient has only one child, that one child gets the whole amount. If the SSDI recipient has multiple children, its evenly divided between the child.
Wouldn't that cause some chaos? Every ncp would have to pay 33.33% unless they had more children that lived with them...we would have ncp's rushing to have more kids just to keep more money in their household.
