The Child Support Bill
Insurers must hold payments for child support
Directs insurers to conduct data matches and withhold certain insurance and settlement payments to satisfy child support obligations (OR INCREASE SG RV See Note)
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, insurers would have to match data and hold insurance or settlement money to pay child support instead of the payee.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill would make insurance companies check for child support debts and keep part of payouts until the debt is paid, helping custodial parents get money faster. It could also slow down claim settlements for the other parent, and adds a new duty for insurers.
