Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes (23 Pa. C.S.) §4308.1 provides that “overdue support be a lien by operation of law against the net proceeds of any monetary award owed to an obligor” and provides that Pennsylvania’s Department of Public Welfare (DPW) may intercept lump-sum personal injury insurance or workers’ compensation awards. Additionally, 23 Pa. C.S. §4377 (b)(10) provides that DPW may intercept workers’ compensation and insurance claim settlement awards payable to individuals who owe child support arrears.
