Summary

Existing law, until January 1, 2020, suspends a money judgment or order for child support for any period exceeding 90 consecutive days in which the person ordered to pay support is incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized, except as specified. Under existing law, a child support obligation suspended under these provisions resumes on the first day of the first full month after the release of the person owing the child support. This bill would delete the repeal date, making these provisions effective indefinitely. The bill would modify when a judgment or order for child support is suspended to any period exceeding 90 consecutive days in which the person ordered to pay support is incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized, and would specify that the suspension applies starting on the first day of that incarceration or involuntary institutionalization. The bill would also modify the end date of the suspension to the 90th day after the release of the person owing support, the start of employment, or the first month the person is in receipt of earned or unearned income, whichever occurs first. The bill would, to the extent authorized by federal law, require the Department of Child Support Services or a local agency to promptly correct the calculation of child support owed, if the department or local agency erroneously collects or attempts to collect any amount of child support that is suspended by operation of these provisions. The bill would modify reporting requirements related to these provisions.
