No. As long as you have cooperated with the Department of Child Support Services, welfare payments and Medi-Cal benefits will be available to you while the Department of Child Support Services tries to find the noncustodial parent. I have a California support order. The non-custodial parent now lives in another state. I know she/he has land and other assets in California. Can the Department of Child Support Services help me collect on the past-due amount? Yes. The fact that the noncustodial parent now lives somewhere else does not prevent the Department of Child Support Services from reaching his/her assets in California.
