MS SB2615

Authorizes the Department of Human Services to use additional communication methods approved by financial institutions when sending notices about asset encumbrances for child support, in addition to certified mail.

Child support obligations are automatically suspended for obligors incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized for more than 180 consecutive days, unless the obligor has means to pay or was incarcerated for domestic violence, child abuse, or criminal nonpayment of child support.

Suspended child support obligations resume on the first day of the month following 60 days after release from incarceration, and become enforceable on that date.

Authorizes the Department of Human Services to administratively adjust arrears balances that accrued in violation of the suspension provisions, with 30-day notice to both obligor and obligee, unless either party objects in writing.

Expands the definition of "account" for asset encumbrance purposes to include demand accounts, member accounts, share accounts, and time certificates of deposit.
