Child Support Fairness and Tax Refund Interception Act of 2001

H.R. 869, the Child Support Fairness and Tax Refund Interception Act of 2001, would expand the federal government's ability to collect unpaid child support by allowing the interception of federal tax refunds for children who are no longer minors. Under the law at the time of the bill's introduction, the tax refund intercept program was primarily limited to cases involving minor children. This legislation would ensure that parents who are owed past-due support can still receive those funds through the tax system even after the child has reached adulthood.
