The bill adds new requirements for securing medical support from noncustodial parents in the context of public assistance eligibility.

  • 23 Pa.C.S. § 4326

    The department may not accept a private agreement between a custodial parent and a noncustodial parent that the custodial parent will provide medical support if the agreement results in the child foregoing medical support which would otherwise be available to the child under 23 Pa.C.S. § 4326 (relating to mandatory inclusion of child medical support). An agreement made in violation of this subsection shall be considered void as contrary to public policy.

    This change prevents custodial parents from privately agreeing to forgo medical support that is legally mandated.

  • 23 Pa.C.S. § 4326

    Medical assistance shall be provided to a child without delay while the department is making a determination of the noncustodial parent's ability to provide medical support.

    This ensures that children receive medical assistance promptly while the department assesses the noncustodial parent's responsibility.
