Question: Why does the state of alaska hold child support payments payed federal government for 6 months before paying?

Past due child support was collected from my child's biological father when he was doing his taxes and this money was payed to the State of Alaska on my behalf, but while this money shows up as payed on my online case page, it is not being direct deposited into my personal bank account because according to the CSED case worker I spoke with, it has to be held for six months when it has been payed by the Federal Government...no other explanation at all. I don't understand this. It makes no sense to me..They can't be worried that the U.S. Government is insolvent and unable to pay the bill..so why do they have to hold the money for six months?? Very frustrated at this point.

They care more about earning interest on the money than the welfare of the child. This bill was passed by Sarah Palin by the way

Look who your Governor is I thank God she is not our vice President I wonder how much she supported that bridge to no where. Maybe Child protective services should inquire why a baby of hers was at the Republican National Convention last year? That sounds like a case of neglect.

It is standard policy in all states to withhold Federal income tax refund check collected from delinquent parents. Some people file Income tax jointly and if the spouse of the delinquent parent wants their portion of the tax return that they are owed from the government they can file for it during this time. Understand the spouse of a delinquent parent does not owe the child support and is entitled to their portion of that check. How the hell did a child support question become a Hate Palin forum >?

The state of Alaska is probably doing like Oregon and many other states do. When someone has a child and has been receiving benefits from the state I.E. food stamps, HUD, Etc. and then as you said child support comes into play the state will "take " the money to pay back the state for the benefits they have helped you with. Then they will start giving it to you, and because it is from the Federal Government it will probably be that way from now on. On a good note now that your child's Biological father has been caught his wages will be garnished from now on and you should start receiving payments in a reasonably steady pace. Sorry so long but my sister had this happen to her.
