↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Requires that social security dependent benefits received by a child due to a parent's earnings be credited against and reduce that parent's child support obligation.
Social security benefits received by the child or children due to the earnings of a parent shall be credited as child support to the parent upon whose earning record it is based.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends child support statutes to credit Social Security dependent benefits paid to a child against the paying parent's basic child support obligation, thereby reducing the amount that parent must pay out of pocket. This expands the rights of the less-custodial/paying parent by lowering their obligations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
