About 3.8 million children receive approximately $1.6 billion each month because one or both of their parents are disabled, retired or deceased. See here for details : http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10085.html

Disabled children whose parents have little income or resources may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits. See here for details : http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10026.html

Aside from SSI, which can provide support for disabled children in needy families, or survivor benefits when a parent dies, I am unaware of a "child support" from the Social Security Administration.

You may want to explore TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) which may help. TANF is generally administered on the state level. For example, here is information about TANF in Texas :

You don't indicate if you'd like to appeal the disability finding, the SSI finding, or both. However, appealing either one may be difficult if the determination was made two years ago.

Current SSA procedures indicate you must appeal the SSI or disability determination within 60 days of the date you receive your determination notice.

You may wish to retain third-party services (ex. a lawyer) to assist you with this.

I am unaware of any Social Security program which offers assistance for child care when the child is able-bodied and has living parents.

Social Security does provide assistance to children in these cases :

• Survivor benefits when a parent has died
• Benefits when a parent is disabled
• Benefits when a parent is retired

Additionally, disabled children whose parents have little income or resources may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits.

Yes, several states offer "In-home supportive services". Typically services are provided to eligible aged, blind, and disabled persons on SSI who cannot perform the services themselves and who cannot safely remain in their own home unless such services are provided.

For example, here's a link to the program in California :

Here are program outlines for all states :
