Summary

The bill requires child support collected for families receiving Title IV‑A public assistance to be paid directly to those families and excluded from income calculations. It also adds a new rule that assistance recipients must cooperate with the state child‑support agency, or face a federal‑mandated sanction unless they have a good cause. The changes aim to encourage support payments while protecting vulnerable children.
