Can I Request To Have Child Support Taken Out Of My Social Security?

if im out of work and behind on child support can i personally have it set up to have to i taken out of my social security until it caught up

Hi,

No. Social Security can only garnish a person's Social Security benefits in order to pay for child support if they receive a court order to that effect.

Best, Jerry
