MD SB703

Phases in full child support pass-through to families receiving Family Investment Program (FIP) assistance: maintains current $100/$200 limits through FY 2027, increases to 25% of collected support in FY 2028, 50% in FY 2029, 75% in FY 2030, and 100% in FY 2031 and beyond

All child support passed through to families must be disregarded when calculating the amount of FIP assistance, preventing benefit reductions

Originally included a provision prohibiting local departments from considering child support when calculating Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, but this provision was removed by amendment

Takes effect October 1, 2025
