A child's benefit payments (child support, SSA, SSI, and so on) are used to offset the cost of the child's care. The system retains a history of the benefits a child receives, including the type, amount, and benefit payment date range. Payments are made to benefit accounts, which are established when a benefit application is submitted. The account is used to document whether the application is accepted, rejected, or closed, and to accept approved benefit payments.
