Requires reduction of a parent's child support obligation by the amount of social security dependent benefits received by the child

This bill (S 148) requires courts to reduce a parent's child support obligation by the exact amount of Social Security dependent benefits the child receives based on the parent's earnings. It directly affects parents paying child support and children receiving Social Security benefits due to a parent's work history. The key mechanism adds a specific provision to child support calculations, crediting these Social Security benefits toward the parent's obligation. This change ensures the child's existing Social Security benefits are accounted for in the support amount, preventing double payment. The bill amends existing family court and domestic relations laws to implement this adjustment.
