My ex husband informed me that Social Security start taking money from his SSI benefits in June 2013 for child support. I didn't get any letter from Social Security or any child enforcement unit about this. I tried to call to talk to someone, but all I got was a machine. How can I find out about how to get the money?

Go to your local Social Security office and ask them. They would know without question or doubt.
Hi - do you mean that your ex-husband has stopped making child support payments and says he does not have to pay anymore?
You will have to go to your local SS office if you want real answers - you most likely will not be able to get any help over the telephone.
It does take a few weeks/months for benefits to start but you should receive "back payment" from when benefits were suppose to start.
SS should be able to tell you where to go to see, if, indeed, your ex no longer has to pay child support as this is not always the case. All circumstances are different.
All you have to do is call or go to SS office nearest you. You will need your husband's ss#. If he is drawing Social Security, you can also draw it on any children you have with him. If you don't know his ss# they will still help you find it. If you go, take your and your child's SS3 with you. Good Luck!
