FIA CHILD CARE PAYMENTS
House Bill 4008
Sponsor: Rep. Ron Jelinek
Committee: Family and Children Services
Complete to 2-1-01
A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4008 AS INTRODUCED 1-25-01
The bill would add a new provision to the Social Welfare Act (MCL 400.57j) concerning payments when a recipient changed child care providers. Under the bill, a recipient would have to provide the Family Independence Agency (FIA) with verification that any balance owed to the previous provider had been paid in full before the FIA could authorize payment to the new provider. However, this provision would not apply to an unpaid balance for which a civil action had been commenced.
