What seems to be common thread in this thread is the because the poster isn't able to save money that SSA should assume that no parent can save money from the Social Security auxilliary or survivor benefits. Also, the amount of money paid is based like all other Social Security payments, the amount of money you paid into the system. It is not related to how much money you think you need to raise your child.
There are parents who do save money. Even in this economy. And there are rules that apply. Payee accountings are required by law.
