child support vs SSA

[kdiggs]

I have a child support order in the State of California. The order is for $1500 per month and is for three children. There is not a breakdown of the amount per child - just $1500 per month. The father recently went on SSA and I receive $875 per month for the kids. Am I entitled to collect the additional $625 per month, or is the SSA all I am entitled to?

1500/mo was based off his previous income. Since his income decreased with SSA the new amount is probably all you are entitled to. www.ssa.gov might be able to answer more questions to you.
