Disability Benefits: How Will Receipt of Child Support Affect SSI

I can't seem to find any clear answer on the internet except that child support is considered unearned / in-kind income and does need to be reported to the SSA. But everything I've researches so far conflicts, such as an equation of 1/3 of it not counted as income; $20 of in-kind does not get counted; and that the child support is income for the child but does not clarify any further, not explaining what affects welfare, if any.

The beneficiary receives SSI - Supplemental Security Income because she has never worked a job in her life and started receiving it as a minor at the age of 16. I do know that they re-certify every few years, and ask all kinds of income type questions, one being if she receives child support.

Due to a recent separation, child support was ordered and will begin soon. My question is, if SSI is income based and they do ask, then how exactly will it affect her benefits?
