My ex-husband is getting disability and I was wondering if our daughter can get social security benefits?

1) It depends on if he is getting SSD or SSI disability benefits and the age of your daughter. There are auxiliary (family) benefits available for minor children of most SSD recipients - it depends on how much the SSD recipient is receiving each month. There are no children's benefits for SSI recipients. 2) You can work with your state Child Support Enforcement agency or county District Attorney's office to have the child support order enforced via garnishment of SSD benefits, however SSI benefits are not subject to garnishment. The Social Security system limits the garnishment amount to the lesser of the State maximum or the maximum under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)) and is based on the law of the State where the beneficiary resides. Hereafter, the CCPA limit is referred to as the “Federal” limit. The CCPA limits garnishment to: 50%, if the beneficiary is supporting a spouse and/or child other than the spouse and/or child whose support has been ordered. 60%, if the beneficiary is not supporting another spouse and/or child. 55% or 65% respectively, if the garnishment order or other evidence submitted indicates the original support ordered is 12 or more weeks in arrears. NOTE: SSI payments are not subject to garnishment.
