Daughter receives social security benefits from her disabled father. Do I have to claim this as income on my taxes?

Father and I are divorced and he receives social security in her name. We have shared custody but the checks solely go to him. If I claim my daughter on my taxes, do I have to claim the social security income that goes in her name? Or is the father responsible because he receives the income? And how do I get the tax form if I do have to claim her since it goes to him?
