Advancement of Equity in Title IV-D
"We provide our members with trusted resources and services to honorably pursue equitable remedies throughout their Title IV-D proceedings, while establishing and securing their parental rights."
What is Title IV-D
In 1975, Title IV-D was added to the Social Security Act to establish a nationwide Child Support Enforcement (CSE) program. Its purpose was to recoup money paid out to welfare recipients when at least one parent was absent from the home and did not provide support.
In 1981, amendments to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act established the interception of federal (IRS) tax refunds as a means of collecting overdue child support (also known as “arrearages”). It also authorized the withholding of unemployment insurance benefits (UIB) to pay child support obligations. In 1984, Child Support amendments were added to the Social Security Act. Some of these amendments authorized mandatory income withholding when arrearages accrued, the interception of state tax refunds as a means of collecting child support payments, and the provision of CSS services to families that do not receive Public Assistance.
In 1994, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) allowed the mother and natural father to voluntarily acknowledge the paternity of a child born outside of marriage while at the birthing hospital. OBRA also required CSS to pursue health insurance coverage for children when establishing a support order.
