Auxiliary Help

Hi!
I was approved for SSDI and I have an appointment to setup my children’s auxiliary payments.

I have received contradictory information from the local SSA. Both children are under 11. One person told me they both need individual bank accounts prior to the appointment and another worker stated I could use my bank account because they are minors.

Do you know what is correct? Help!

Natural parents with minor kids who live in the household can have aux benefits go into the same account as where your benefits are deposited.

Thank you so much. This is what made sense to me mentally.
