Hey everybody, I'm new!!
I'm wondering if I go on SSDI, yes I paid taxes, will my child get auxillary benefits, or will my child support come out of my SSDI support? |

I have never heard of auxillary benefits for children so I'm clueless as how to answer your question. My best guess answere is that unless your children are disabled there are no additional benefits because you have children.
We'll have to wait and see what someone else says.

Welcome !
Are you referring to Dependent benefits? If so, then the answer is Yes. Your children will receive 50% of your SSDI benefit, split between them. So, if you have 2 children, they will each receive 25% of your SSDI benefit. If you have only one, he/she will receive 50% of your SSDI benefit - until they reach 18. If your child is disabled, he/she can continue the benefit as an adult. Here is the link regarding Benefits for Children. http://ftp.ssa.gov/pubs/10085.html#benefits

So lets say I have an estimate of 1200$ of SSDI a month. Does that mean my daughter will get 600$ of it and I will be left with 600$? and that pretty much it's flat out 50% of what I'll get?
I've read quite a bit on the SSDI auxillary benefits through google.. |

ELA is right on the amounts.
Normally, a judge in a divorce will consider that $600 as the child's dependent benefit as your whole child support contribution. Occassionally a judge will order that you pay more, but it is my understanding that happens rarely and only under special circumastances (say, if you had an inheritance trust that also paid you $50,000 a month or if you have a lot of other assetts). |
