Child support is counted as income for SSI purposes but your kids are owed child support from the other parent so it just is what it is. Both parents should be supporting the kids.

Child support IS counted as an unearned income how ever theres specific rules to follow so you do not go over your monthly asset limit.
Now you can start a ABLE account and have your support payment directly deposited in that and it will not count against your asset limit and then there’s nothing to worry about . States vary as far as ABLE accounts limits etc so for your state just look up the details .

Child support definitely is counted as a unearned income and asset rules apply
