There is no such thing as "social security child support." If the child's parent(s) is eligible for Social Security, the child is probably eligible, also.

In most cases, grandparents cannot receive child support for letting a runaway child live with them unless they have legal custody or guardianship of the child. Child support is typically paid to the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the child. Grandparents can seek legal custody or guardianship through the court system to potentially become eligible for child support.
