The custodial parent (the one who has the child/children) is receiving SSI that is not included in the decision of the amount of support paid by the non custodial parent.

In general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. Whether or not the other parent/child receives public assistance is not relevant to this calculation.

If support exceeds the grant, the grant will be discontinued and the support will be forwarded to the other parent.
