Well, not exactly. First and foremost are the needs of the children and any money you get for a child is supposed to spent on his/her needs. Now a child does need food and shelter, but it is not correct that you can ignore the needs of the child and choose to spend the money any old way you want.
But it is also difficult for SSA to mandate and verify what some parents are doing and it is also impossible for SSA to force a non-disabled parent to go to work and not live off of the money paid for their child while providing the child a home.
