Removing noncooperation with child support from disqualifications for child care subsidies.

SB 264 removes a barrier preventing low-income parents from accessing child care subsidies due to noncooperation with child support enforcement. Specifically, it amends Kansas law to eliminate "noncooperation with child support" as a disqualification factor for child care assistance. This means parents who are not actively paying or cooperating with child support orders will no longer automatically lose eligibility for subsidized child care. The change directly affects families applying for or receiving child care subsidies through Kansas' Department for Children and Families, ensuring they can maintain child care support without penalty for child support-related issues.
