Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Kids' trust accounts protected, interest paid

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Division keeps a separate account for each child who gets Trust Fund money. When the Division is no longer legally responsible, it sends the balance to the parent or guardian, or to the child if emancipated or 18. The Division can no longer reduce a child’s account for services paid with public money. Each account earns interest at the end of each period, set by the average of rates from at least three banks for small savings accounts. Interest starts when the Division first becomes legally responsible and stops in the period when that ends. The State Treasurer sets interest periods, at least quarterly.

Big-county kids' funds can repay agencies

Beginning July 1, 2025, if your child gets survivor benefits or similar awards and lives in a county with 100,000 or more people, that money is deposited in a county child welfare trust fund. The county may pay the child welfare agency back from those deposits for services to the child that were paid with public money. This can reduce the money left for the child or family.

Small-county kids' benefits go to state

Beginning July 1, 2025, if your child gets survivor benefits or similar awards and lives in a county with fewer than 100,000 people, that money is deposited in the State Treasury’s Trust Fund for Child Welfare. The state holds the money in the child’s separate account until the Division follows the law’s remittance rules.
