Insurance; require insurers to exchange data with Department of Human Services to aid collecting child support arrears.

Summary

The bill would make insurance companies send claim information to Mississippi’s Department of Human Services when a claim of $500 or more involves negligence, personal injury, wrongful death, or life insurance. The department could then withhold or seize any insurance benefits owed to a parent who owes child support, and insurers would have to notify claimants and remit the withheld funds. Penalties would apply for non‑compliance or false information.
