Re: Deduction of SS benefits

You should NOT unilaterally make any changes to your child support payments, upon you and your children receiving SSI.

If your income in reduced, at that or any time, You should Petition the Court for Modification of the child support order, based upon your change of circumstance.

Good luck,
