Re: Child Support
You should check with your local Department of Social Services agency in regard to the question as to whether you would qualify under your current circumstances for any type of state assistance.
As to whether your children could qualify for a benefit under their incarcerated father's social
security account, I'm quite certain that the answer is no they cannot but you might want to
double check that particular issue with the office of social security nearest to where you currently reside.(You could probably also find an answer to this question on the social security main website.)
