I BEEN PAYING CHILD SUPPORT AND MY CHILDREN ARE OVER 18..

Q) I BEEN PAYING CHILD SUPPORT AND MY CHILDREN ARE OVER 18.. THEY BEEN FOR YEARS BUT CHILD SUPPORT IS TAKING MONEY OUT OF MY SSI.. EVEN MY BACK PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN UP.. PAYMENTS ARE STILL BEING TAKEN OUT OF MY SSI

A) If you have been paying child support and your children are over 18 years of age, it’s possible that the child support payments are still being taken out of your Social Security Income (SSI) due to a court order or a state law that requires support to continue until the age of majority, which is typically 18 or 21, depending on the state.

If you believe that the child support payments should have been discontinued, I recommend that you contact the child support agency or your attorney to determine the reason why the payments are still being taken from your SSI and to discuss your options for resolving the issue.

You may also want to review the court order or agreement that governs your child support obligations to see if it specifies a different age at which support should end. If there is a discrepancy between the court order and the payments being taken from your SSI, you may need to take legal action to have the court order modified.

It’s important to address this issue as soon as possible to ensure that your rights and financial situation are protected. I hope this information is helpful.
