HR 3034 United States House · 118th Congress

Ensuring Children Receive Support Act

This bill amends the Social Security Act to require U.S. passport revocation for individuals with child support arrears exceeding $2,500, replacing previous options to restrict or limit passports. It directly affects parents who owe significant unpaid child support, specifically those with arrears above this threshold. The key mechanism removes "restrict" or "limit" as enforcement options and mandates that the individual be notified before any passport revocation occurs. The change streamlines enforcement by making revocation the sole action permitted for qualifying cases.
