If you have legal custody via a court order, and he actually applied
for her also (family benefit), simply go to the nearest SSA office,
present them with the CO and ask to be made "Representative Payee".
They are very cooperative in this matter and it will be taken care of.


She has already graduated . and is no longer entitled to benefits.
If he was claiming the daughter he could be charged with fraud unless
he used all of her money for her needs. There is just not enough
information presented to make heads or tails of this situation as far
as I'm concerned. The somewhere near $ could have been all his
share and he never claimed the daughter or it could have been the
combined benefit. A visit to her local SS office could yield much
better facts. Was it a sole custody situation or did he have
visitation or even shared custody?
