The rules are very specific for using government support checks to secure a child support obligation. Based on the facts here, it sounds as though he is nearly a year (if not more) behind in child support. An attorney will be able to consult with you on matters regarding securing child support obligations.

If your son's father is receiving a disability check from Social Security, in most instances your son is also entitled to benefits. Report to a local social security office with your son's birth certificate and they should be able to process your claim. To get an income assignment on a military pension, you need an income assignment order which directs DFAS to make an automatic deduction payable to you from the pensioner's monthly check. There is more information about that on the DFAS website.
