    Please don't use text speak.

    Is your mother receiving benefits for herself, benefits for the children?

    If you are going through the Court system you must have an Attorney. What does the Attorney say about the situation?

    To quote the SS Administration: "Another kind of Social Security benefit - Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") - can't be garnished, even to collect child support." That's Federal Law, not State Law.
