Question
Can Prudential reduce DSSDI from my check even if my children are not living with me?
Answer
Mitchell, you need to review your policy to determine if Prudential is allowed to reduce by any Cost of Living increase to your SSDI? Or if the increase was due to the SSA re-figuring your benefit and paying the correct amount. Furthermore, most policies have what’s known as a minimum monthly benefit amount – typically $100 that they will have to pay regardless of offsets – confirm that amount with Prudential. Unfortunately, the policy would allow them to reduce the DSSDI from your check even if your children are not living with you. If you are paying child support you could explore your rights to have that re-evaluated based on the amount the SSA is paying to your children in the care of your wife. You would need to consult with a Family Law attorney to explore your options.
