Re: aid to dependant children
The custodial parent receiving the ADC benefit
on behalf of the dependent child(ren), irrespective of whether s/he herself is included
in the grant, does not incur any debt on her part to the Commonwealth.
In contrast, the non-custodial parent responsible for the children receiving the benefit, automatically incurs a debt by operation of law equal to the full amount of the benefit unless the Division of Child Support
Enforcement(DCSE) or a court of proper jurisdiction determines otherwise.
