The child support is to "support the child"...figure it out.
Single mothers have sole custody by default. Married mother must address it with the court. Non-custodial mothers can still get a child support award from the father.
SSI, yes; TANF, yes if the amount of child support is less than the State's payment level; SNAP (food stamps), yes; Medicaid, yes. (Child support is considered income for SNAP and Medicaid.)
Yes of course. She is the one with whom the child lives. Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to help with the expense of raising a child.

Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
Will you have custody or not?
Determining child support has only one goal which is to determine medical, financial and daycare support. Custody is NOT determined when child support is established. To establish child support you have to go to court. Otherwise if the mother was unwed and paternity/custody is not established she automatically has sole custody which entitles you to pay her child support but you are not entitled to visitation, school/dr records etc unless she gives them to you... If custody is not established then the mother has custody
You may have to pay child support to the one who has custody of your children.
Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.
Support and custody are two different issues. While it doesn't bode favorably as far as custody is concerned if the parent is a deadbeat, it doesn't automatically preclude them from obtaining custody if they can prove that in doing so, it would be in the best interests of the child.
The parent would get support from the children's father--only while the children are in her custody as minors.
