Are you asking for information on how to get Welfare? Or child support?
Yes of course. A minor does not have to support himself until he is 18yo. That is your obligation until then. In that case he could just stop working and be supported by you. Instead encourage your child to work and save money for good things and for when he moves out.
You will need to go through the district attorney or your State's child support agency to do this.
Child support is based on net income. The courts can require the obligor to look for work if they decide that his non-work income is not sufficient to support the child.
