The father was paying the mother arrears in child support. He had been on SSDI and his SSDI check was garnished to pay the arrears of $527 per month. The child is in college. So far the father owes around 7500.00 in arrears. He recently passed away. What happens to the arrears now? Will the SSDI still pay the arrears till they are paid in full? Or does the father's passing dissolve the arrears?

I'm not sure if this would apply to you or not. A friend of mine her husband did not pay her child support after the divorce. However, when he did die she was able to collect his social security benefits which did make up for all the child support that was not paid. Maybe you should check with social security and see if this applies to you or not.
I believe the father's passing will dissolve the arrears but you will have to go to the Social Security office to find out for sure.
Some things can be different in different states but SS rules should be the same everywhere.
Not true in most states. The arrearage survives the death of the obligor.
This is a question for Social Security. Make an appointment and bring proper documentation.
You would have to go through your state,with proof of garnishment and death. Only they can answer this for you!
