SB1063 Enrolled -8- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 Section 20. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by 2 changing Sections 10-8, 10-10, 10-10.3, 10-11, 10-15, 10-16, 3 10-17.9, 10-19, 12-9, and 12-10.2 and by adding Sections 4 10-10.4, 10-10.5, 10-11.2, and 10-26 as follows: 5 (305 ILCS 5/10-8) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-8) 6 Sec. 10-8. Support Payments - Partial Support - Full 7 Support.) The notice to responsible relatives issued 8 pursuant to Section 10-7 shall direct payment (a) to the 9 Illinois Department in cases of applicants and recipients 10 under Articles III, IV, V and VII, (b) except as provided in 11 Section 10-3.1, to the local governmental unit in the case of 12 applicants and recipients under Article VI, and (c) to the 13 Illinois Department in cases of non-applicants and 14 non-recipients given access to the child and spouse support 15 services of this Article, as provided by Section 10-1. 16 However, if the support payments by responsible relatives are 17 sufficient to meet needs of a recipient in full, including 18 current and anticipated medical needs, and the Illinois 19 Department or the local governmental unit, as the case may 20 be, has reasonable grounds to believe that such needs will 21 continue to be provided in full by the responsible relatives, 22 the relatives may be directed to make subsequent support 23 payments to the needy person or to some person or agency in 24 his behalf and the recipient shall be removed from the rolls. 25 In such instance the recipient also shall be notified by 26 registered or certified mail of the action taken. If a 27 recipient removed from the rolls requests the Illinois 28 Department to continue to collect the support payments in his 29 behalf, the Department, at its option, may do so and pay 30 amounts so collected to the person. The Department may 31 provide for deducting any costs incurred by it in making the 32 collection from the amount of any recovery made and pay only 33 the net amount to the person. SB1063 Enrolled -9- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 Payments under this Section to the Illinois Department 2 pursuant to the Child Support Enforcement Program established 3 by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act shall be paid into 4 the Child Support Enforcement Trust Fund. All other payments 5 under this Section to the Illinois Department shall be 6 deposited in the Public Assistance Recoveries Trust Fund. 7 Disbursements from these funds shall be as provided in 8 Sections 12-9 and 12-10.2 of this Code. Payments received by 9 a local governmental unit shall be deposited in that unit's 10 General Assistance Fund. 11 To the extent the provisions of this Section are 12 inconsistent with the requirements pertaining to the State 13 Disbursement Unit under Sections 10-10.4 and 10-26 of this 14 Code, the requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement 15 Unit shall apply. 16 (Source: P.A. 83-1126.) 17 (305 ILCS 5/10-10) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-10) 18 Sec. 10-10. Court enforcement; applicability also to 19 persons who are not applicants or recipients. Except where 20 the Illinois Department, by agreement, acts for the local 21 governmental unit, as provided in Section 10-3.1, local 22 governmental units shall refer to the State's Attorney or to 23 the proper legal representative of the governmental unit, for 24 judicial enforcement as herein provided, instances of 25 non-support or insufficient support when the dependents are 26 applicants or recipients under Article VI. The Child and 27 Spouse Support Unit established by Section 10-3.1 may 28 institute in behalf of the Illinois Department any actions 29 under this Section for judicial enforcement of the support 30 liability when the dependents are (a) applicants or 31 recipients under Articles III, IV, V or VII (b) applicants or 32 recipients in a local governmental unit when the Illinois 33 Department, by agreement, acts for the unit; or (c) SB1063 Enrolled -10- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 non-applicants or non-recipients who are receiving support 2 enforcement services under this Article X, as provided in 3 Section 10-1. Where the Child and Spouse Support Unit has 4 exercised its option and discretion not to apply the 5 provisions of Sections 10-3 through 10-8, the failure by the 6 Unit to apply such provisions shall not be a bar to bringing 7 an action under this Section. 8 Action shall be brought in the circuit court to obtain 9 support, or for the recovery of aid granted during the period 10 such support was not provided, or both for the obtainment of 11 support and the recovery of the aid provided. Actions for 12 the recovery of aid may be taken separately or they may be 13 consolidated with actions to obtain support. Such actions 14 may be brought in the name of the person or persons requiring 15 support, or may be brought in the name of the Illinois 16 Department or the local governmental unit, as the case 17 requires, in behalf of such persons. 18 The court may enter such orders for the payment of moneys 19 for the support of the person as may be just and equitable 20 and may direct payment thereof for such period or periods of 21 time as the circumstances require, including support for a 22 period before the date the order for support is entered. The 23 order may be entered against any or all of the defendant 24 responsible relatives and may be based upon the proportionate 25 ability of each to contribute to the person's support. 26 The Court shall determine the amount of child support 27 (including child support for a period before the date the 28 order for child support is entered) by using the guidelines 29 and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505 and 30 in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of 31 Marriage Act. For purposes of determining the amount of child 32 support to be paid for a period before the date the order for 33 child support is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption 34 that the responsible relative's net income for that period SB1063 Enrolled -11- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 was the same as his or her net income at the time the order 2 is entered. 3 An order entered under this Section shall include a 4 provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and 5 to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor 6 obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's 7 employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be 8 in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include 9 the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report 10 new employment or the termination of current employment, if 11 coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 12 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor 13 arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be 14 set in the amount of the child support that should have been 15 paid during the period of unreported employment. An order 16 entered under this Section shall also include a provision 17 requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each 18 other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change 19 except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or 20 emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or 21 both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the 22 party's address. 23 The Court shall determine the amount of maintenance using 24 the standards set forth in Section 504 of the Illinois 25 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. 26 Any new or existing support order entered by the court 27 under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of 28 judgments against the person obligated to pay support 29 thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each 30 payment or installment of support and each such judgment to 31 be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or 32 installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. 33 Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect and 34 attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the SB1063 Enrolled -12- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to 2 modification or termination only in accordance with Section 3 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. 4 A lien arises by operation of law against the real and 5 personal property of the noncustodial parent for each 6 installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial 7 parent. 8 When an order is entered for the support of a minor, the 9 court may provide therein for reasonable visitation of the 10 minor by the person or persons who provided support pursuant 11 to the order. Whoever willfully refuses to comply with such 12 visitation order or willfully interferes with its enforcement 13 may be declared in contempt of court and punished therefor. 14 Except where the local governmental unit has entered into 15 an agreement with the Illinois Department for the Child and 16 Spouse Support Unit to act for it, as provided in Section 17 10-3.1, support orders entered by the court in cases 18 involving applicants or recipients under Article VI shall 19 provide that payments thereunder be made directly to the 20 local governmental unit. Orders for the support of all other 21 applicants or recipients shall provide that payments 22 thereunder be made directly to the Illinois Department. In 23 accordance with federal law and regulations, the Illinois 24 Department may continue to collect current maintenance 25 payments or child support payments, or both, after those 26 persons cease to receive public assistance and until 27 termination of services under Article X. The Illinois 28 Department shall pay the net amount collected to those 29 persons after deducting any costs incurred in making the 30 collection or any collection fee from the amount of any 31 recovery made. In both cases the order shall permit the 32 local governmental unit or the Illinois Department, as the 33 case may be, to direct the responsible relative or relatives 34 to make support payments directly to the needy person, or to SB1063 Enrolled -13- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 some person or agency in his behalf, upon removal of the 2 person from the public aid rolls or upon termination of 3 services under Article X. 4 If the notice of support due issued pursuant to Section 5 10-7 directs that support payments be made directly to the 6 needy person, or to some person or agency in his behalf, and 7 the recipient is removed from the public aid rolls, court 8 action may be taken against the responsible relative 9 hereunder if he fails to furnish support in accordance with 10 the terms of such notice. 11 Actions may also be brought under this Section in behalf 12 of any person who is in need of support from responsible 13 relatives, as defined in Section 2-11 of Article II who is 14 not an applicant for or recipient of financial aid under this 15 Code. In such instances, the State's Attorney of the county 16 in which such person resides shall bring action against the 17 responsible relatives hereunder. If the Illinois Department, 18 as authorized by Section 10-1, extends the support services 19 provided by this Article to spouses and dependent children 20 who are not applicants or recipients under this Code, the 21 Child and Spouse Support Unit established by Section 10-3.1 22 shall bring action against the responsible relatives 23 hereunder and any support orders entered by the court in such 24 cases shall provide that payments thereunder be made directly 25 to the Illinois Department. 26 Whenever it is determined in a proceeding to establish or 27 enforce a child support or maintenance obligation that the 28 person owing a duty of support is unemployed, the court may 29 order the person to seek employment and report periodically 30 to the court with a diary, listing or other memorandum of his 31 or her efforts in accordance with such order. Additionally, 32 the court may order the unemployed person to report to the 33 Department of Employment Security for job search services or 34 to make application with the local Jobs Training Partnership SB1063 Enrolled -14- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 Act provider for participation in job search, training or 2 work programs and where the duty of support is owed to a 3 child receiving support services under this Article X, the 4 court may order the unemployed person to report to the 5 Illinois Department for participation in job search, training 6 or work programs established under Section 9-6 and Article 7 IXA of this Code. 8 Whenever it is determined that a person owes past-due 9 support for a child receiving assistance under this Code, the 10 court shall order at the request of the Illinois Department: 11 (1) that the person pay the past-due support in 12 accordance with a plan approved by the court; or 13 (2) if the person owing past-due support is 14 unemployed, is subject to such a plan, and is not 15 incapacitated, that the person participate in such job 16 search, training, or work programs established under 17 Section 9-6 and Article IXA of this Code as the court 18 deems appropriate. 19 A determination under this Section shall not be 20 administratively reviewable by the procedures specified in 21 Sections 10-12, and 10-13 to 10-13.10. Any determination 22 under these Sections, if made the basis of court action under 23 this Section, shall not affect the de novo judicial 24 determination required under this Section. 25 A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of 26 past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued 27 under a support order entered by the court. The charge shall 28 be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 29 of this Code and shall be enforced by the court upon 30 petition. 31 All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall 32 include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to 33 notify the court and, in cases in which a party is receiving 34 child and spouse support services under this Article X, the SB1063 Enrolled -15- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 Illinois Department, within 7 days, (i) of the name, address, 2 and telephone number of any new employer of the non-custodial 3 parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has access to 4 health insurance coverage through the employer or other group 5 coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names 6 of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new 7 residential or mailing address or telephone number of the 8 non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a 9 support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent 10 effort has been made to ascertain the location of the 11 non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of 12 notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known 13 address of the non-custodial parent in any manner expressly 14 provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Code, which 15 service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process. 16in accordance with the Income Withholding for Support Act17 An order for support shall include a date on which the 18 current support obligation terminates. The termination date 19 shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered 20 by the order will attain the age of majority or is otherwise 21 emancipated. The order for support shall state that the 22 termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may 23 remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this paragraph shall 24 be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order. 25 Upon notification in writing or by electronic 26 transmission from the Illinois Department to the clerk of the 27 court that a person who is receiving support payments under 28 this Section is receiving services under the Child Support 29 Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social 30 Security Act, any support payments subsequently received by 31 the clerk of the court shall be transmitted in accordance 32 with the instructions of the Illinois Department until the 33 Illinois Department gives notice to the clerk of the court to 34 cease the transmittal. After providing the notification SB1063 Enrolled -16- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 authorized under this paragraph, the Illinois Department 2 shall be entitled as a party to notice of any further 3 proceedings in the case. The clerk of the court shall file a 4 copy of the Illinois Department's notification in the court 5 file.

The 31 Illinois Department of Public Aid shall pay the net amount 32 collected to those persons after deducting any costs incurred 33 in making the collection or any collection fee from the 34 amount of any recovery made. The order shall permit the SB1063 Enrolled -50- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 Illinois Department of Public Aid or the local governmental 2 unit, as the case may be, to direct that support payments be 3 made directly to the spouse, children, or both, or to some 4 person or agency in their behalf, upon removal of the spouse 5 or children from the public aid rolls or upon termination of 6 services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code; and 7 upon such direction, the Illinois Department or the local 8 governmental unit, as the case requires, shall give notice of 9 such action to the court in writing or by electronic 10 transmission. 11 (3) The clerks, probation officers, and the Court 12 Service Division of the County Department of Public Aid in 13 counties of 3 million or more population, and, after the 14 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975, the clerks, 15 probation officers, and the Illinois Department of Public 16 Aid, shall disburse moneys paid to them to the person or 17 persons entitled thereto under the order of the Court.

The clerk of the court shall file a 2 copy of the Illinois Department of Public Aid's notification 3 in the court file. The failure of the clerk to file a copy 4 of the notification in the court file shall not, however, 5 affect the Illinois Department of Public Aid's right to 6 receive notice of further proceedings. 7 (4) Payments under this Section to the Illinois 8 Department of Public Aid pursuant to the Child Support 9 Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social 10 Security Act shall be paid into the Child Support Enforcement 11 Trust Fund.

Duties of payor. 11 (a) It shall be the duty of any payor who has been 12 served with an income withholding notice to deduct and pay 13 over income as provided in this Section. The payor shall 14 deduct the amount designated in the income withholding 15 notice, as supplemented by any notice provided pursuant to 16 subsection (f) of Section 45, beginning no later than the 17 next payment of income which is payable or creditable to the 18 obligor that occurs 14 days following the date the income 19 withholding notice was mailed, sent by facsimile or other 20 electronic means, or placed for personal delivery to or 21 service on the payor. The payor may combine all amounts 22 withheld for the benefit of an obligee or public office into 23 a single payment and transmit the payment with a listing of 24 obligors from whom withholding has been effected. The payor 25 shall pay the amount withheld to the State Disbursement Unit 26obligee or public officewithin 7 business days after the 27 date the amount would (but for the duty to withhold income) 28 have been paid or credited to the obligor.

The failure of a 3 payor, on more than one occasion, to pay amounts withheld to 4 the State Disbursement Unitobligee or public officewithin 7 5 business days after the date the amount would have been paid 6 or credited to the obligor creates a presumption that the 7 payor knowingly failed to pay over the amounts. This penalty 8 may be collected in a civil action which may be brought 9 against the payor in favor of the obligee or public office. A 10 finding of a payor's nonperformance within the time required 11 under this Act must be documented by a certified mail return 12 receipt showing the date the income withholding notice was 13 served on the payor. For purposes of this Act, a withheld 14 amount shall be considered paid by a payor on the date it is 15 mailed by the payor, or on the date an electronic funds 16 transfer of the amount has been initiated by the payor, or on 17 the date delivery of the amount has been initiated by the 18 payor. For each deduction, the payor shall provide the State 19 Disbursement Unitobligee or public office, at the time of 20 transmittal, with the date the amount would (but for the duty 21 to withhold income) have been paid or credited to the 22 obligor. 23 Upon receipt of an income withholding notice requiring 24 that a minor child be named as a beneficiary of a health 25 insurance plan available through an employer or labor union 26 or trade union, the employer or labor union or trade union 27 shall immediately enroll the minor child as a beneficiary in 28 the health insurance plan designated by the income 29 withholding notice. The employer shall withhold any required 30 premiums and pay over any amounts so withheld and any 31 additional amounts the employer pays to the insurance carrier 32 in a timely manner. The employer or labor union or trade 33 union shall mail to the obligee, within 15 days of enrollment 34 or upon request, notice of the date of coverage, information SB1063 Enrolled -63- LRB9101195SMdvA 1 on the dependent coverage plan, and all forms necessary to 2 obtain reimbursement for covered health expenses, such as 3 would be made available to a new employee. When an order for 4 dependent coverage is in effect and the insurance coverage is 5 terminated or changed for any reason, the employer or labor 6 union or trade union shall notify the obligee within 10 days 7 of the termination or change date along with notice of 8 conversion privileges. 9 For withholding of income, the payor shall be entitled to 10 receive a fee not to exceed $5 per month to be taken from the 11 income to be paid to the obligor. 12 (b) Whenever the obligor is no longer receiving income 13 from the payor, the payor shall return a copy of the income 14 withholding notice to the obligee or public office and shall 15 provide information for the purpose of enforcing this Act. 16 (c) Withholding of income under this Act shall be made 17 without regard to any prior or subsequent garnishments, 18 attachments, wage assignments, or any other claims of 19 creditors.
