If you get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) son is not provided for.

If you get Social Security disability (SSD) son is eligible for Dependant Benefits regardless of who he lives with. The DepBenefits are credits to any child support you are to pay. He should receive a seperate check for any back due benefits, money goes to the custodia parent, not to the child. You should talk with a social security disability attorney.
