News and Announcements

Even More Money for Families!
As of Nov. 4, 2026, we are changing how we distribute state-owed past-due child support and interest for periods when a family received cash assistance from the Department of Transitional Assistance. As of Oct. 1, 2026, child support payments received toward past-due support and interest owed to the Commonwealth will be paid instead to the family. We are hopeful that this change will improve the lives of families and provide greater economic stability for those we serve. See our Frequently Asked Questions.
