Re: Back support and social security

Normally, someone incarcerated for a crime or other offense has his Social Security Disability Benefits suspended during the course of his incarceration. Hence, it is likely that the father of the children has had his benefits suspended while in prison. Hence, the children will be unable to collect anything while he is in prison. If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Thank you.
