SSN benefit for child of disabled parent

[ChuckTaxGuy]

I have a married disabledclient filing jointly with a child. SSA just approved and is paying benefit for child including 1 prior year. Payment is done in name of parent for child. How/where do I put this? Is it taxable income to parent? or just ignore as it is under amount required to file for child?

SS in the child's SSN would go on their own return if they had a filing requirement...if thats all the income they have, it doesn't go anywhere.

payment for child is in the SSN of the parent

the top of the 1099SSA has the parents SSN? Then it goes on the parents return.

No. I was mistaken. the top; box 2, has the child's SSN.  box 8 has the parent's SSN
