    Collecting Child Support / Payee is in Jail
    My son and I currently reside in Illinois. My son's father resides in Ohio; however, he is currently in jail. Can I collect child support from his Social Security, while he is incarcerated?

    Thanks,
    RML :)

    Hello RML:

    No. That would be nice, though.

    No, you cannot. But you can hold him responsible for whatever arrearages accrue even while he is in jail. He'll have to pay it eventually.
