Bill Summary
Relative to recovered amounts of child support obligations. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill aims to bring child support payments directly to families who were previously receiving government assistance. It requires the state's IV-D child support agency to pay all collected child support, including arrears, to former recipients of public assistance, rather than retaining a portion for the government. This change is intended to ensure that families receive the full amount of child support they are owed, rather than having a portion withheld by the state.
