1. National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) — “Child Support Pass-Through and Disregard Policies for Public Assistance Recipients”

Explains that under federal law, when a family receives TANF, the state may retain (assign) child support collected to reimburse itself and the federal government.

Also shows how many states allow some “pass-through” amount (e.g. $50/month, $100-200 depending on number of children) to be paid to the family, and that the rest is kept.



2. National Child Support Enforcement Association (NCSEA) — “Quick Facts: Child Support Assignment, Pass-Through, and Distribution for Families receiving Public Assistance” (June 2022)

States that the amounts passed through by states range “from $50 per month to up to 75 percent of all assigned support collected by the state child support agency.”

Also describes how much is withheld to reimburse TANF, and how much families receive.



3. Ascend at the Aspen Institute — “Centering Child Well-Being in Child Support Policy” fact sheet

Provides examples of states that pass through all current support payments. E.g. Colorado, Michigan.

Explains that states “may pass through up to $100 in collections per month for families with one child and up to $200 per month for families with two or more children,” with the rest often going to state/federal cost recovery.



4. Washington State Senate Bill Report ESHB 1652

Gives an example: federal law requires the state to send a “federal share” of collected child support while the family is receiving TANF; in Washington, that share is about 50% of what is collected. The rest (state share) can be retained or paid out (via pass-through)
