Child Support Diverted To Needy W. Va. Families
West Virginia is among states taking advantage of changes in federal law that is allowing states to divert child support payments to parents on welfare, giving families extra money to care for their children. The child support payments were previously used to reimburse the government for social services, but West Virginia officials say the changes are expected to put $85 million in overdue child support into the hands of about 18,000 families who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
