Mercy, thank you for the question.
llworking, thank you for the clarity. I undestand the following:
My ex-wife worked for several years before becoming disabled. Therefore she is receiving SSDI.
My child is receiving SSI.

If I may segue...

I believe that the benefits that I am receiving in my childs name are not taxable on my 1040. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks again for all your help.
They are the child’s benefits, not your benefits, and thus not includable on your tax return. Moreover, the SSI benefits the child is receiving is not taxable income to the child, either.
