Why don't you ask the SS office? Surely they asked if he had a child when he applied. If you are not living with him and the child is yours and his child, call the SS office. If the child lives with someone else they will recieve the check.
From what I understand the application should be filed with the local Social Security office of and by the custodial parent. The 'child' is entitled no matter which parent is disabled and the money is for expenses of the child and must be accounted for on a regular basis.
Go to "SSA.gov. Most questions are answered there. The age of the child depends on whether he/she will receive a check.
I don't know about SSI, since we don't receive it. However, when hubby was getting SSDI (aka disability,) the children - including stepchildren - qualified to receive checks in their own names. Whoever has custody will have to account for how the child's money was spent. I remember helping him fill out the accountability form each year. The child's check will end at "majority," aka age 18, unless certain conditions apply.
