Only Social Security can tell you if that was the case. Give your local Social Security office a call and ask if your children are eligible for any benefits on their deceased father's Social Security earning's record. Good luck Eileen!

What Escrow????  My daughter receives an Auxiliary Benefit due to my disability. Her mother and I are divorced and we had equal parenting time with no support ordered. Her mother contacted Social Security and said I had never provided anything for my daughter. There is no way for her to substantiate that because there was a no contact order in place because of her actions towards me. The ALJ ruled that my daughters mother had been dishonest and misleading in obtaining payee status. He found that I had not caused an overpayment or misused my daughters benefit. Social Security had taken substantial funds out of my benefit to repay the alleged overpayment prior to the ALJ ruling. I was told it would go into escrow until the ruling. Upon exiting the court room I asked the Social Security Representative how I would go about getting the money out of escrow. They said that the money had already been used in benefit of the child. I have no idea what paperwork to request, or what questions to ask because no one seems to know anything about this situation when I meet with them. Are their any avenues for obtaining Auxiliary Benefit information when I am not the payee? Winning isn’t te end. What Escrow????  My daughter receives an Auxiliary Benefit due to my disability.

There is no support ordered, and I have primary residence. The benefit is sent to the other household. 　I live in Maine. My daughter receives Social Security Auxiliary benefits because of my disability. Her mother and I are divorced. We have equal parental rights and I have had had primary residence for the past 6 months. At the divorce no support was ordered and I was to support my daughter at my home, and her mother was supposed to support her at hers. There has never been any child support ordered. After the Divorce Judgment, her mother applied for and became her payee. 　I notified Social Security of the change in residence. I have provided them with copies of the court orders. I also requested to be her payee. Her mother is disputing any change in payee. She has told them that she supports my daughter at my home with what is left over (nothing). 　My daughter lives with me. I take care of her daily expenses at my home, and medical, dental, orthodontic and psychological related expenses. She visits her mother from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. 　My daughters mother makes twice as much as I get, not including the benefit. I understand that we both have electrical bills, and phone bills, and housing expenses. It doesn’t really matter that my daughter has to share a room over there but she has huge entertainment expenses at her mothers. Technically as long as her mother has bills that are greater than my daughters benefit, I was told that her benefit is being used to take care of my daughter. Is there anything I can do to help Social Security understand that I need to receive my daughters benefit to support her in my home even if it is being used to support her at her mother’s home for the 4 days she is there a month?　In short: I am disabled. I have primary residence. My daughters auxiliary benefit payee is her other parent. I was told that her benefit is being used for her care during visitation. Is there a way I be deemed to have greater need because I provide more of her care? The Auxiliary benefit comes out of my benefit. There is no support ordered, and I have primary residence.
