Bill > HR8362

This bill, the Unborn Child Support Act, aims to amend the Social Security Act to ensure that child support is collected and distributed for unborn children under the child support enforcement program. The key provisions include: 1) requiring states to establish and enforce child support obligations of the biological father of an unborn child, with the start date for such obligations potentially beginning from the first month of conception; 2) allowing for retroactive collection or award of child support payments, even in cases where paternity is established after the child's birth; 3) specifying that the payment amount shall be determined by a court in consultation with the mother, considering the best interests of the mother and child; and 4) limiting the waiver authority under the Social Security Act to prevent modifications to the establishment and enforcement of child support obligations for unborn children.
