Finally recieved back pay!
 

Well I finally recieved all my sons back pay in One Lump sum SSD not SSI Now im afraid to spend any of it! YIKES what to do now! :eek:

Backpay
 

We used our kids backpay money to pay back credit card debts and other things we got so far behind on. I waited 3 1/2 years for my case to be won so I needed to use their money as well to pay back things.

How long did it take you to recieve your kids backpay?

kids backpay
 

If you are asking me it took less than 2 months for my kids backpay to come.

my x got his reward letter a little after christmas and we got the direct deposit last friday,,,,it seemed like it took forever! Now the problem is that he owes me back child support,,,,do i take that out of my sons money or do they take that out of his? I Know i have to keep up with what i spend and keep recipts and all,,, But i dont know what i can actually spend that money on....Home repairs. clothes for him. I guess anything that could improve his life i dunno they didnt tell me much of anything on about what i can and cannot do with the money! anyone have any advice?????:confused:

As far as the ex goes that is probably something for your lawyer to answer for you. I have been told they do not really keep close tabs on how the money is spent. As long as they see your children are taken care of and you are not blowing it as far as gambling or drinking it all up.

If I were you pinkkolaid I would call his caseworker if you have access to that. I know I've seen them take child support out of IRS money but I'm not sure about Social Security. Is it disability? I hope he realizes that if he gets stopped by a traffic stop he could end up in jail, for not paying back child support.

Just wondering have you got your sons ssi and how long did it take you to get it. It's a long process....and I'm becoming impatient is all I've received first three of SSI payments. but not backpay yet.
