VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO AMEND SECTION 43-5-590, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES WITH REGARD TO FEDERALLY APPROVED CHILD SUPPORT PLANS, SO AS TO CHANGE A REFERENCE FROM "AID TO FAMILIES WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN" TO "TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY FAMILIES" AND TO MAKE OTHER TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 43-5-590(f) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 336 of 1990, is further amended to read:
"(f) The department shall provide that the support collection or paternity determination services made available to approved applicants for the Aid to Families With Dependent Children Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Program under this section be made available to an individual not receiving assistance under the program who files an application for the services with the department. For an individual not otherwise eligible for these services under the program, a fee fees and cost costs as required by or allowed by federal law may be imposed by the department. The fee and cost fees and costs must be an amount not to exceed the amount permitted by federal law. The fees and cost recoveries as would cause a reduction in the amount of federal matching funds must be retained by the department to offset, dollar for dollar, the federal reductions. When there is an assignment of the rights to support, the clerk of court shall execute the necessary order substituting the department and changing the payee of the support to the department upon receipt by the clerk of the notice of assignment."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
