Description

When a divorce client receives SSI or SSDI, complex issues arise that can impact settlement or adjudication of spousal and child support. Counsel must understand how to navigate the maze of SSI and SSDI rules to effectively represent his client.

Practitioners must consider the potential impact of alimony on SSI or SSDI benefits. Counsel should understand how SSI or SSDI may affect child support calculations and be aware of derivative benefits.

Listen as our authoritative panel of family law practitioners discusses the differences between SSI and SSDI, how alimony may affect these benefits, the ways receipt of SSI and SSDI may impact support calculations, and information to use in negotiating or arguing for or against support.
