Massachusetts H4910 amends child support enforcement to protect families from undue sanctions and ensure support payments benefit recipients.

Massachusetts H4910 amends child support enforcement by ensuring the first $100 per month collected for one child and $200 for two or more children in a family receiving benefits are paid directly to the family and not counted as income. It also imposes sanctions on public assistance recipients who fail to cooperate with child support enforcement without good cause, while protecting families from undue sanctions in certain circumstances, such as cases of incest, rape, or pending adoption. The bill aims to ensure child support benefits directly benefit the families they are intended to support.
