open a joint account at a local bank - since your daughter is a minor she could not have an account in her name only, anyway. Social Security only sends checks electronically through direct deposit - not through the mail - therefore the need for the account.

as for how the money is used I found this on the social security website:

SSA Publication No. 05-10085, September 2004, ICN 468550 [View .pdfGet Adobe Acrobat Reader (En Español)

 

About 3.8 million children receive approximately $1.6 billion each month because one or both of their parents are disabled, retired or deceased. Those dollars help to provide the necessities of life for family members and help to make it possible for those children to complete high school. When a parent becomes disabled or dies, Social Security benefits help to stabilize the family’s financial future.

NOTE: Disabled children whose parents have little income or resources may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits. Contact us to get a copy of the publication, Benefits For Children With Disabilities (Publication No. 05-10026).

My daughter was approved for ssi threw a judge with no lawyer. I received a phone call today saying that i have to use this money for her disability only and i have to open a dedicated account. She is bipolar I asked if i could use the money to keep a house over her head. They said no the back pay is only used for her disability she could not tell me what i can use this money for that she would not need a wheel chair, ect ect. Because bipolar is just a mental disorder and her medication is already paid. I said to her so you are telling me that her money will just sit in this account because i can't use it for stuff like electric bill, phone to call the doctor she said no just her disability at least i am using it to take care of her. I have to keep all records when i take the money out and show what i used it for. Did anyone ever hear of a dedicated account and i am only getting it in 3 installments. And the installments are not that much. Thank you for any replys about this issue it would be very helpful.First my daughter is 9 she is going to camp this summer but her insurance pays for it. And more about me i am not well my self in march i had my armpit removed because i had staph infection really bad when i came home i still did not fill well i went back to my doctor to find out i had MRSA (SUPERBUG) and my arm is still opened alittle will not heal. I am on 13 medications. I don't want to live like this i want to be part of society and work but i can't due to my illnesses. I didn't have enough work credits to receive SSD. So i was approved for SSI it it is enough to pay the rent and where I live there is no apartments that have section 8. I moved in a doublewide and we have to pay rent, mortage, and property tax's, I moved in with my parents that didn't work out because my dad got very sick he passed away March 20th 2008 the day I had surgery, I moved in to a friends house that didn't work because she had 40 cats and the smell was not good for my children thats why i moved in this. So it has not been easy for my children or I. My son was on home bound all school year and i was running him to school 3 x's aweek and with the gas prices going up that didn't help me. I don't want any pity from anyone but trying to live its been very hard.
But again thank you for your inputs I guess they would rather have us on the streets and living in are car then let us pay the bills that need to be paid.
