This bill would allow the Attorney General to pass along up to $200 per month in child support payments directly to families receiving public assistance. Currently, child support collected on behalf of families on public assistance may be retained by the state; this change would let that money flow to the family instead. It also ensures those payments would not count against a family's income when determining their eligibility for public benefits or their benefit amount. Who it may affect: parents and children who receive public assistance and are also owed child support payments.
