HB2139 Summary

• Creates a new insurance data match reporting system allowing insurers to report insurance claims to identify claimants who owe child support arrearages in Title IV-D cases.

• Permits insurers to establish dollar-amount thresholds for claims they will report and allows them to participate through databases or the federal child support enforcement office.

• Requires the Department of Economic Security to issue income withholding orders within three business days of identifying a match, allowing insurers to withhold full arrearage amounts from insurance payments to claimants.

• Provides insurers with immunity from liability for using the data match system, providing information to the department, or delaying claim payments due to compliance with withholding orders.

• Excludes specific claim types from reporting requirements including first-party property damage claims, medical expenses paid directly to providers, property damage claims, and health benefits plan claims.
