Not enough information to make a complete answer. Federal law allows Federal agencies to keep up to 55% of SSD checks to cover the arrearage, this includes 100% of back due benefit checks. The possible error is that if you have SSD the minor children will receive money in their own names, this does not come from your check. Discuss in detail with your local SS office. Caution: If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income there in no payment to the children.
