Qualifying children

I have children and their father has recently went for a hearing is waiting on a decision. I was told that the kids will qualify for benefits. I have several questions.
How is the amount determined?
What are the rules for the cutoff age to recieve benefits?
Do the children recieve back pay as well?
What steps if any do I need to take to set up their case?
If a child is 18 but still in high school do they qualify, and for how long?

I just found out that my daughter father was approved for disability he has been telling me it's pending but I found out he lied and has been receiving a benefit check for her although she lives with me and receives more than 50 percent of her financial from me. What should I do to have that check sent to me? I am sure he was sent retroactive money and kept it secret.

Hi there,
You may want to contact the SSA if the funds are not being used appropriately, you can contact them at 1-800-772-1213.

My childs father has applied for SSD and should have a hearing within the next few months. We have no communication and I am concerned he will try to scam things like not telling them he has a child, or try to tell them she lives with him so he can get her check. Also can an atty take part of her backpay as well? His new wife is a professional government scammer!!!

if my daughters father has applied and is awaiting a hearing for SSD do I need to notify anyone so she will receive benefits as well?

My son lives with me he is 16 and his father now receives social security SSD benefits and I believe he receives a check for my son. I receive no money from him for child support. What can I do? I feel check should be mailed to me for my son.
