[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 162431, member: 1697"] Oh and......how much a child gets is based on a percent of how much the person who put in the work earned and paid in, and how much they would draw out. It is different for everyone, BUT there is a maximum amount. And no- it is NOT enough to raise a child or run a home etc, altho it can very often be too much to qualify for food stamps, and even too much to qualify sometimes for Medicaide etc. AND.....we found out when son was bnorn, haveing another child does not increase how much the family gets....each child does get a check for their care and support BUT...if you have 2 kids, they sned x dollars, if you have a 3rd kid, the overall amount sent for children is re configured, and the 3 kids will then spilt howveer much the total for the children is. SO like if you get 100 a month (not a valid amount) for 2 kids, if you have a 3rd child added in, you will still get 100 for 3 kids. But instead of each child getting 50, now each child will get 33. and as each child reaches age 18 or graduates HS.....the dollar amount per child will also again change, and the 3 kids that got 33 will each get 50 when their oldest sibling turns 18 or graduates HS. so- the family would then still get 100 for children. until the children all reach age 18 or graduate. So- if there are other children somewhere....who are getting bens on this man as survivors, THEIR monthly amount might decrease to add on another child.
