if children are removed by cps from the home is it legal for bio mom to continue to receive child support payment from social security?

No it is not "legal" under the social security act.  The case worker, or her supervisor at CPS, need to contact Social Security and have the funds rerouted to CPS to care for the children.   *The answers provided are merely a guide and do not in anyway constitute legal advice or create and attorney-client relationship between the question presenter and Laura B.
