Strengthening State and Tribal Child Support Enforcement Act
This bill updates federal law to ensure tribal child support enforcement agencies have the same access to tax information as state agencies. It amends the Social Security Act and Internal Revenue Code to explicitly include tribal organizations receiving federal grants under Section 455(f) in provisions allowing the use of tax refund data to collect overdue child support payments. Tribal agencies will now be treated equally with state agencies for accessing tax information and receiving reimbursement for enforcement reports. This change directly affects Native American tribes operating child support programs and the parents and children they serve, enabling more effective collection of overdue support.
