You will need to file a Request for Order seeking termination of the support. The support automatically terminates pursuant to your order, however you may want to file with the court so that they will stop the wage assignment.
You need to review the terms of the decree or support order. If your payments terminated when the child turned 18 or 19, you should take an official copy of the decree or support order to the social security administration and request that the payments stop. If there are any child support arrears that have accrued since the entry of the support order, the SSA may be able to collect benefits from your disability checks and forward them to your former spouse or to a government entity to apply toward the amounts owed for past child support.
