Child Support Distribution Act of 2005

The Child Support Distribution Act of 2005 proposes several changes to how child support is collected and distributed, primarily focusing on families receiving government assistance. The bill would allow more child support money to go directly to families rather than being kept by the state to offset welfare costs, and it would lower the debt threshold for denying passports to parents who owe back support from $5,000 to $2,500. Additionally, it places new limits on the garnishment of veterans' disability benefits for child support and requires states to regularly review and adjust support orders for families receiving temporary assistance.
