I am receiving CalWORKs. How is child support distributed?
In every month that a child support payment is made, a notice will be mailed to the obligee showing how much money the obligor paid. Each month, the first $50 of current child support—a disregard—is paid to the obligee. The remainder goes to repay the county for any CalWORKs payments received. (New federal law may change the disregard payment amount. Contact the department or county welfare office for more information.
