The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services is changing the way it determines interest on child support obligations, moving from automatically assessing interest to assessing only when ordered by the court.
In announcing the change Wednesday, the department said it is designed to “remedy an inequity between low-income families served by the department and families with private child support arrangements.”
Illinois is one of 15 states that automatically charged interest. The department determined the arrangement was disproportionately affecting Blacks and low-income families. Newsletter Signup
