Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to the treatment of veteran disability dependent benefits in determining a child support obligation. The bill provides that veteran disability dependent benefits shall be treated in the same manner as social security dependent (SSD) benefits are currently treated. Under current law, if a child receives SSD benefits as the result of a parent’s disability, the payment amount is to be included as income to the parent when calculating the amount of child support. After calculating the amount of child support, if the disabled parent is the obligor, the obligor’s support obligation is then to be credited, dollar for dollar, in the amount of the SSD payment made to the dependent, with any remaining obligation amount to be paid by the obligor.
