For legislation to bring child support home. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.

AI Summary

This bill aims to bring child support payments directly to families receiving public assistance. It amends existing laws to ensure that child support collections, including payments on arrears assigned to the state and federal tax refund offsets, are paid to the family rather than retained by the government. This is in line with the provisions of Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, which governs the child support enforcement program. The bill specifies that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2019.
