KansasKansas proposal lists child care penalties for missed support cooperation
SB 264 proposes rules for when Kansas parents who do not cooperate with child support services could lose child care subsidy eligibility.
What it does
The printed text lists child care subsidy ineligibility periods of three months, six months, one year, or 10 years for parents who do not cooperate with child support services.
Argument forParents who cooperate with child support services could regain eligibility after the listed penalty period, giving some families a path back to child care help.
Argument againstParents could lose child care help for up to 10 years for not cooperating with child support services, which could make it harder to keep or find work.
More detail
The printed amendment text lists periods when parents would be ineligible for child care subsidies if they do not cooperate with child support services. The schedule applies to parents who do not cooperate with child support services and seek child care subsidies. For the first three penalties, eligibility could return after the stated period and cooperation with child support services; the fourth penalty is 10 years. The bill says it would take effect after publication in the statute book if enacted.
