Can you get temporary guardian benefits?
Whether you are the guardian of a child Social Security beneficiary or of a disabled adult who receives Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, you may need additional assistance to provide the care and support the individual needs. Although you cannot receive temporary guardian benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA), there are a number of other programs and administrative rules of which you should be aware.
Representative Payee Status
The SSA can designate a representative payee for a child or a disabled adult that is not competent to manage his or her own SSD benefit payments. As a legal guardian, you are not automatically assigned representative payee status. You must apply for this status with the SSA.
All monies issued to you as a representative payee must be used to provide for the needs of your ward. If your temporary guardianship ends, you must notify the SSA immediately and return all unused funds.
You can apply for representative payee status by calling 1-800-772-1213 or by contacting your local SSA office.

I have to take my ex-wife to court to see about changing the back child support order. An order she was supposed to alter but did not when I went to get my son for the weekend and ended up getting him for the next 4 years.
It’s recently come to my attention from a reliable source that since she did not change the child support order, that she may well have continued to collect welfare benefits (in the late 80’s/early 90’s) as if he were still a dependent under her name, thereby committing criminal fraud.
My son’s name is C********er W***r, and if your data shows that she continually claimed him as a dependent then she’s broken the law, a point it would be to my advantage to make when I see her in front of a judge.
J****e S**e ***r or ****e S*e F**** would have been her name and she lived on Main street in M****o, Indiana, and I believe also possibly Main street in C****s, Indiana, or perhaps 22nd street, not entirely certain, but I believe it was Main street in both towns.
I believe that she is currently living on R******d street in M****lo, Indiana, and likely still collecting welfare of some sort as her entire family has made doing so sort of a career choice.
So, since it’s well within the realm of probability that you cannot just give me that information for the asking I will need to know whom/where to subpoena to get that data so I can use it against her in court so that I can get out from under the weight of a debt I’ve been paying her that she should have owed me.
