Generally, SSA checks for RSDI eligibility before granting SSI, and vice versa. RSDI (unlike SSI) is countable income and might affect your disabled child's eligibility for Medicaid.
RSDI eligibility is not contingent on assets (unlike SSI eligibility).
Child support can be garnished from RSDI payments (but not SSI).
No. If a parent is getting RSDI, the child should be getting RSDI, also. The child's benefit counts as child support. In many cases, this means that the NCP does not owe any additional payment.
If you're getting RSDI, your child should be getting RSDI. The child's benefit counts as support paid. Often, the obligor doesn't owe any additional payment because the RSDI benefit exceeds the amount of child support ordered.
RSDI for minor children stops at 18, regardless of college attendance.
No; however, it might affect one's RSDI benefits.
Paternity would have to have been established for the child to receive RSDI. So, unless the alleged father signed an acknowledgment of paternity or paternity is presumed because the parties were married when the child was conceived/born, the child will not be eligible for RSDI.
Possibly - it depends on your total income (including RSDI and SSI) and assets (excluding home, auto and personal property).
It's more like the other way around. 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.
Unless there was a lien on the assets, you're probably out of luck. However, the child might be eligible for RSDI (Social Security) based on the deceased parent's earnings.
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.
