Under current law, ADC recipients are required to surrender to the state any child support received from a noncustodial parent. LB233, introduced by Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh, creates a passthrough to allow a custodial parent who receives ADC to also receive up to $100 of the child support paid for one child and $200 for two or more children.
Child support income from the passthrough will be disregarded when calculating ADC monthly assistance payments.
LB233 passed on a vote of 46-0 and takes effect July 1, 2027.
