yes your child can get benefits if the father is receiving social security i know that for a fact but i'm not sure if he's receiving ssi. but i'm sure if you call your state social security adminstrator they should be able to help you get some kind of benefits for your child.

Yes, a child under the age of 18 or a disabled adult child of a deceased or disabled parent with enough work credit history can qualify for SSDI. SSI and SSDI are completely different programs and qualifications are quite different in regards to income. If you receive SSDI you are able to work and earn up to $800 a month and still keep your full SSDI check, anything over $800/month they begin deducting. SSI is completely different and is based upon income. Just because a person has a child under the age of 18 and that parent becomes disabled is NOT an automatic qualifier for that child to receive disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.

My sister has a child that was on SSI, When her income went up they docked the SSI, they told her that she could afford to take care of the child on her income. It did not cost her anymore to take care of that child then it did her other 3. I think SSI is an income based federal program, once other income comes into the house, the ssi drops, it is a supplement unlike ssdi, the benefit that you pay into when you work and pay for disability benefit. SSI is there for anyone, whether they worked or not. Alot of folks around here are on SSI, the government is really cracking down on it, sadly, it is abused by the younger healthier folks that could be working so everybody suffers and is put under the magnifying glass. I know I see folks that work all their lives try to get SSDI, they have paid into it, get hurt and have to fight till they are blue in the face, it is sad. Where some of the healthier folks on SSI have no trouble at all getting it. Goodluck to all of you, hope you can find a way to figure this all out, it has always been a puzzle to me.
I don't think that either of these incomes are garnishable.

Yes, SSI is solely based on income. And currently the maximum monthly SSI benefit is $623. The only way these types of income would be garnished is for federal/govt. debts, like student loans, or child support payments.

rikki middleton,
Steelers is right about the dishonorable discharge, no VA benefits at all, sorry.
However, my questions to you are, 1. How long ago was the dishonorable discharge? 2. What was it for? 3. Have you had a clean record since it happened? 4. Have you tried to get it changed? If your dishonorable discharge was a long time ago, it was not for a really, really bad thing, you kept your nose clean, you can file paperwork to get the discharge changed. If this is the case, let me know, I can tell you what paperwork you need to file to get it changed. It opens alot of opportunity for you. What type of loan are you looking for?
If your answers to the above questions are favorable, let me know. I am a vet rep and can give you advice on where to go from here. If not, sorry. Post your answers, please.

I think that the inducement for your creditors to settle a debt becomes clear once there is an option that they may collect nothing on the debt if you were left with no choice but to file for insolvency defense.
