Divide the percentage by 100 to obtain the decimal form that you will use later in the calculation.

A government benefit is âmeans-testedâ if the eligibility for the benefit or its amount is determined on the basis of the income or the resources of the recipient. Therefore, SSI benefits are not considered to be income to the recipient for the purposes of determining any child support award. The other type of social security benefits is called Social Security Disability (SSD).
For example, if your spouse earns $50,000 a year from all sources, and if the court orders him to pay 20 percent of that income in child support but $10,000 already goes directly to his child in the form of SSDI derivative benefits, she would actually receive $20,000.
