Social Security Benefits?

-My mom is almost 50 and she receives social security(I'm not really sure why) and she also receives a child support check for me(I'm 15)and I heard that people might not get their checks on the 3rd.I'm confused.What is going on here?Are they stopping them completely or cutting them or what?

Should I worry?

P.S.-I'm a straight A student so just because I'm not the richest doesn't mean that I am not successful.They may have to delay them because the government has not done something that it has to do before it can borrow the money needed to send the checks. They will still be sending them, eventually, but maybe late.
