Child support calculations in Utah currently exclude Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments from a parent's income when courts determine support obligations. This bill would change that by removing SSDI from the list of excluded benefits and instead adding it to the list of income sources courts may count toward a parent's gross income, alongside things like Social Security retirement benefits, pensions, and workers' compensation. As a result, a parent's SSDI payments could be factored into calculations of how much child support they owe or receive. This change would take effect May 6, 2026, if the bill becomes law.
