Question..

Chloe's dad has resurfaced, he claims he has PTSD and severe depression inwhich he'll get SSI/SSD(can't remember which) and he wants Chloe's SSN to file on the papers. After speaking with his father and step mother last night apparently he's only told me half of the truth, and he's become a drug addict. I told him that I wasn't giving him her SSN before I found out this info(told him to have the agency who's filling out the paper work to call me for it) and now that I found out he's an addict I really don't want to give it to him as lord knows what his true intentions are. Is it illegal for me to keep her SSN from him?

He's not in her life, he doesn't pay support, he never sees her. I wouldn't give it to him either. If you have to by law then make him have a judge order it. I wouldn't trust his intentions. If he's on SSI she may be eligible as his dependant but in that case you or someone from the SSI office can file for her. He still doesn't need the number.

Do not give him her SSN!! If your DD is entitled SSDI benefits from his receiving SSDI, you would be filing for them because she is in your custody. The benefits go to whomever has custody of the child, not the person that is receiving SSDI. If he has only signed up for SSDI he will have to go through the process and win his case before he will collect any payments. Also, you will only be able to get SSDI benefits for your DD if he receives a certain amount, I am not sure of what that amount is, but when he lets you know he is receiving SSDI benefits you would go to your local Social Security Office and tell them that you DD's father is receiving SSDI, they will let you know if she qualifies or not. HTH

DO NOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING! Let everything go thru the courts or an attorney to protect your dd and lessen the drama. Just because he contacted you via facebook does not mean he is back in her life or that you owe him anything.

I wouldn't give it to him. Sounds to fishy to me.

If he gets SSD and has the kids social security numbers, then he can draw their benefits, even though they live with you and he doesnt pay squat. DO NOT give the numbers to him. When he is approved, then you can go and apply for their benefits and have them sent to your house, NOT his. He is not entitled to any of it.
