Q: ". . .can my children also receive under me?"
Maybe. When you are in Disability pay status, your local SSA office will advise you if your children are entitled to any additional Auxiliary benefit based on your claim. There is a �family maximum."
Q: child support & SSD -> I do not practice support law. Children getting a parent's SS Auxiliary benefit is treated differently in each PA county:
[Some counties consider it a credit toward child support, some consider it income to the custodial parent. - some just don�t know]. Contact Legal Services or a support lawyer in YOUR county.
