Allows direct deposit of adoption subsidy payments.
Bill A594 requires New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency to establish a direct deposit option for adoption subsidy payments. Currently, these payments are mailed as paper checks to adoptive parents' addresses, but the bill would allow parents to request direct deposit into their bank accounts. Adoptive parents would need to submit a written request to switch from paper checks to electronic payments. The bill does not change eligibility criteria, payment amounts, or who qualifies for adoption subsidies. It only modifies the payment delivery method to provide a more efficient and secure alternative to mailed checks.
