Tribal Child Support

Governor Kay Ivey is urging Congress to pass a bill that would strengthen the ability of Tribes to collect child support.

She joined a bipartisan group of governors in asking Congress to approve the "Strengthening State and Tribal Child Support Act."

It would help Tribes collect child support by "providing direct access to tax refund offsets, giving them another tool to support children and families."
