What’s in it
AI summary When someone dies leaving behind a very small estate, their heir can now use a special form to collect any unpaid child support payments owed to the deceased person. Child support services will create this form to help heirs access those held funds. This change makes it easier for family members to claim these specific types of money.1
Read the official explanation
Current law allows for the distribution of a decedent’s property by affidavit for very small estates (those with a gross value of $50,000 or less). This bill allows a successor of a decedent who has a very small estate to access undistributed child support payments owed to the decedent held by child support services or the collection services center. The bill requires child support services to create and make available a form that allows the successor to collect the held moneys.
