Summary

The bill requires insurance companies to compare their records with child support data and to withhold and send any applicable insurance or settlement payments to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) to cover child support debts. After DCF receives such payments, it must check the amount owed and return any overpayment to the claimant within sixty days. This aims to improve collection of child support owed to custodial parents.
