The FTB goes after child support laggards
Last year, the California Legislature set up a new agency to manage child support payments, and the FTB is responsible for collecting payments on delinquent accounts. Under the new plan, the FTB has more control and will be allowed to make more of its own collection-- related decisions than before.
The FTB is responsible for setting up the state's new database on delinquent child support. Program development is expected to cost more than $300 million and will take 3-5 years to complete.
