AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Nebraska's child support and aid to dependent children programs. It provides for a child support payment disregard, where the Department of Health and Human Services will pass through up to $100 per month (or $200 for families with two or more children) of child support payments to recipients of aid to dependent children, and will disregard those passed-through amounts when calculating the recipient's monthly assistance payment. The bill also eliminates a portion of child support income from being counted when determining eligibility for the aid to dependent children program. The bill requires the Department to implement a child support disregard policy.
