There is a general principle under Indiana law that does not allow for retroactive modification of child support (this includes arrears currently owed). You should notify the Court, through the filing of a child support modification, that you are attempting to receive SSI. There is a website called the Indiana Self Service Legal Center where you can obtain the necessary forms for filing a modification of child support.
