My 'X' and I were together for 13 years. We have a child. He walked out when our son was 2 1/2 years old. He never paid child support.Child support services could never find him. Our son went to college when he was 21 and 22 years old. Can Veterans benefits help help him pay for college?Social Security Administration lists his social security number as a Veteran who saw service, possibly in the Vietnam era. Social Security also claims he has been dead since 1984. 1984 is when his father died, not him. I know this is confusing. I am filing for fraud thru the Social Security administration.Since our son is now past 18 years of age, his friends in Kentucky have told us where he lives. He has since talked to my son on his cellphone.Since we could not get child support from him, and since my 'X' signed on his birth certificate, is there any chance my/our son can at least get help paying for college?
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Maryland Already Tried: I have only contacted Maryland and Kentucky Child Support. Neither state could get us child support. My son and I reside in Maryland. The Veteran, in question, lives in Kentucky. The Veteran's name is XXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX, DOB 1-9-52, SS#XXX-XX-XXXX, also a FBI# 810-972-P5 (Still Active).

Unfortunately, the military doesn't work like that. The GI Bill (post 911 version) can be passed to children, but that has to be done voluntarily by the soldier.
The military is not going to force that action, even for active duty soldiers.
From the facts you've given though, the veteran is not even eligible for the post 911 GI bill, so there are no education benefits to be transferred in the first place.
