HB1241

Directs insurers to conduct data matches and to withhold and remit certain insurance and settlement payments to satisfy child support obligations (EN INCREASE SG RV See Note)

Final Passage·5/27/26

Louisiana HB1241 requires insurers to match data with the Department of Children and Family Services to identify claimants who owe child support.

Louisiana HB1241 mandates insurers to perform data matches with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) before issuing qualifying insurance payments. Insurers must exchange minimum identifying information about claimants, including name, address, and date of birth, to determine if the claimant owes past due child support. If a debt is identified, insurers must withhold the specified amount from the payment and remit it to DCFS within twenty days. The law prioritizes certain claim-related expenses over child support withholding.
