      benefits are awarded.

         (1)  The dollar amount of the child support obligation as
      calculated by application of the guidelines under section 598.21B,

      included as income to the obligor in that calculation.
         (2)  The dollar amount of the social security dependent benefits

         (3)  The dollar amount, if any, the obligor shall pay after
      application of the social security dependent benefits as a credit to
