I have since found out my benefits and why I was getting no information. SS had the wrong address so nothing was coming to me. I wont know my childrens benefits until a re-apply for them. Since my case took almost three years to complete, their original application fell out of the system so I have to take the application back in to the local office with their birth certificates and resubmit. I'm told that now I am in the system their pay wont take long to get. I'm still confused as to how much they get - if its roughly half my pay, split equally among them or half my pay to each of them individually.
