Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I received child support until my son was out of high school by a court order.Isnt ashame,we have a right by law,yes in Illinois,to receive child support forever but when we do get child support it ssi keeps us from getting it.Something is wrong when there are laws to keep us from giving our children what they should be allowed to have just like another adult .This same law does provide for college education to be paid for by the parent I am not sure what impact it has on ssi but I am sure they will find away to make sure it does.. also,if your child has an state id card remember to put emergency contact information on its available for everyone to have on driver license,id cards SS and Child support  I was just wondering how many of you continued to receive child support (going into a payback trust) while getting SS? Just wondering how common it was, and whether I want to approach the subject with my ex as I think he will fight it. The divorce decree states that support shall not stop at 18 because of her special needs, rather support shall be determined based upon her ability to survive independently. I have not yet applied for SS or had the trust drawn up yet, she will be 19 this June. I'll appreciate your input, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ellen previously updated my article on the impact of Child Support on SSI, as well as the " solution " . I also have a more in depth " resource " package for divorce lawyers on what must be done in the court order so as to NOT impact negatively the SSI. The SSI rule changed on this by " policy " in 2008 and in writing in January 2009 in the POMS. Ellen, if need be I can forward to you the documents again to upload top the site.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Situation analogous to my complaint a few years ago about 529 plans and someone's comment that legislation couldn't be crafted to allow 529 money to be redirected when disability requires other post-secondary training. (Although didn't I just read something this being proposed anyway). > > I received child support until my son was out of high school by a court order.Isnt ashame,we have a right > > by law,yes in Illinois,to receive child support forever but when we do get child support it ssi keeps us from getting it.Something is wrong when there are laws to keep us from giving our children what they should be allowed to have just like another adult .This same law does provide for college education to be paid for by the parent I am not sure what impact it has on ssi but I am sure they will find away to make sure it does..

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yes, on behalf of the Arc of Illinois, I helped draft the legislation and it passed out of the house Committee and if passed by the house (hopefully soon) then on to the Senate. However, this is State legislation and NOT Federal, so the tax benefits are limited to Illinois income tax. There is also pending a Federal Bill called " ABLE " but it has been pending every year for years, is again being revised, and is still in Committee. The Arc of US doesn't give it much hope of passing this year.
