The is no auxiliary benefit for minor children if a man receives SSI.
However if he is receiving a disability benefit, there is usually a benefit, payable to the custodial parent. But it can get complicated. Each child's legal custodian must contact SSA to file a claim and prove a relationship to the disabled claimant.
