SSA payments paid on a child's behalf, based on the child support obligor's SSA account, count as child support for the month that they are paid. E.g., support obligation is $100 for November 2009, SSA pays $200 on child's behalf, obligor owes nothing in addition. (BTW, the excess cannot be "carried over" to meet the support obligation for a different month.)
If the child's RSDI benefit is based on the obligor's SSA account, it is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
he shouldn't have to once the child is an adult.
He needs to get a modification to the amount mother is already receiving from SSD.

Yes, if he has income other than SSI or public assistance, but with SSD, he can motion the court to modify his order down to the amount being paid by Social Security.

Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.
Pennsylvania does not currently have that law.
VA disability is considered income for child support purposesso you would need to pay child support out of it unless a judge determines otherwise.
Why not? It's still your child. Who has the child the father with mental problems or the custodial parent? Still if the father has mental problem and he fathered a child...yes he does have to pay child support. Was the father with mental problems receiving some type of disability for his mental problems? If so he is still responsible for paying child support. Does the father have custody of the child? Somebody needs to go back to court ad petition the court.
No. SSI recipients are not liable for child support.
Yes.
Only if the child has a severe disability.
No.
No, but the child is potentially eligible for RSDI payments based on his disabled father's eligibility, and these payments would count toward the father's child support obligation.
If your husband is not the child's father, it might depending on the situation.If your husband is the child's father, then yes.
This can be the case yes depending on the disability, insurances etc.
Yes. Disability of any sort is not exempt from attachment for child support and/or child support arrearages.

If a child is receiving money from the government because one parent has a disability, chances are that the parent will not be expected to pay child support in addition to that money. The court order that is in place controls what happens regarding support.

He needs to file for a modification. See Dads House link below
