The District of Columbia will provide additional income to IV-D customers who receive TANF benefits. The new law allows up to $150 of a NCP's child support payment to be distributed directly to the CP. The pass-through payment is provided to the CP in addition to the TANF benefits.
Who does the pass-through apply to?
The pass-through applies to IV-D customers that are receiving TANF benefits with an established child support court order.
How do I qualify for the pass-through program?
You qualify for this incentive if you receive TANF benefits for a child support obligation with current support.
How does the pass-through program benefit me?
The pass-through program will benefit you by providing up to $150 in additional income to provide for the needs of the family.
Do I get the entire $150 as additional income?
You will only receive the entire $150 if your current monthly obligation amount is $150 or more and the NCP pays.
What time of the month will I receive my payment?
The payment will be disbursed after the payment has been received from the NCP.
Do I receive my payment if the non-custodial parent does not pay?
You will only receive the pass-through payment if the NCP pays their monthly obligation.
Will I receive the same amount each month?
No, your payment amount is based on your current monthly obligation amount and the amount the NCP pays.
