Under current Utah law, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) — monthly payments made to people who can't work due to a disability — is excluded from the income courts use to calculate child support. This bill removes SSDI from that exclusion list, meaning courts can now count a parent's SSDI benefits as part of their gross income when determining how much child support they owe or receive. The bill also explicitly lists SSDI as a countable income source elsewhere in the same statute, making clear that it may be included in the calculation. Parents who receive SSDI and are involved in child support proceedings could see their support obligations or awards change as a result.
