Q: My daughter's father owes me almost 57,000 in back child support, on October 4,2017 he was finally approved to collect
Social Security/disability benefits, after applying over eight years ago. Will child support deduct any money from his settlement for his back owed payments?
A: If you have not already, contact the child support call center (877-655-4371) and notify them that he will be awarded SSD, and probably a large lump-sum retroactive payment. I am not sure if they will be able to intercede to collect some portion of your arrears before he receives that payment, but they would be the one's handling it if it is possible. Also, they need to know that he was awarded SSD, to set up the garnishment of his future payments.
