From anyone's experience, are the Social Security Disability Insurance payments made directly to Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA)? A certain amount of money is being garnished and being paid to the child/ custodial parent. I am not sure if this payment is paid directly to CSEA. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

From Nola.com:Garnishment of Your Disability Payments. If you are awarded SSI, your benefits cannot be garnished to make child support payments. If you receive SSDI and have been court-ordered to pay child support (or alimony), your benefits can be garnished to satisfy your legal obligation.
From this explanation, I would assume the payments garnished are going to the CSEA and then going to the guardian of the child.
Judy is correct about the garnishment of SSDI and I do believe it will go to CSEA and then to the parent/guardian. This garnishment may be due to a person being in arrears with child support and can be made in addition to a benefit paid for the child through SSDI.
