Yes.
Anyone receiving Social Security disability, and subject to a child-support order, may have his benefits attached or garnished for child-support payments. The court that holds jurisdiction over the divorce decree and child-support order must first issue an order advising SSA, which will deduct the monthly amount from your disability payment.

If you receive Social Security your Child(ren) are eligible for benefits off your SSA claim, they pay 50% of your benefit amount (For ex.- Your amt. 850.00/mo, the child would receive $425.00/mo.) but your benefits aren't reduced any. Now, if you receive SSI Supplemental Income, they can't take any amount and the child isn't eligible for any benefits.
