Child Support Update
Attention Insurance Companies: Nevada Senate
Bill 33 becomes effective on January 1, 2020.
Reporting Requirements
Effective January 1, 2020, each insurer must report claimant
information to the Nevada Child Support Enforcement Program within 5 days after
opening a tort liability claim for bodily injury or wrongful death, a worker’s
compensation claim or a claim for life insurance benefits.
Reporting Options
Insurers must contact either the Child Support Lien Network (CSLN) or the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement
(OCSE) to make data
reporting arrangements. Both entities offer secure no-cost data reporting
options and are approved as the “insurance claim data collection organization”
cited in Senate Bill 33. Casualty insurers that report claimant information to
the Insurance Services Office (ISO) can simply authorize ISO to relay claimant
information to CSLN and/or OCSE.
Contact Information
Insurers with questions regarding the new reporting
requirement may contact cse@dwss.nv.gov
NOTE: Effective October 1, 2019 the annual child support fee will increase from $25 to $35 per federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th). The Child Support Enforcement Program will charge and collect the fee on each case when more than $550 has been collected and distributed. This fee will only apply to cases in which the person receiving the support has never received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ACCESS NEVADA USERS
If you have not logged into your Access Nevada account in the past 18 months, you will need to create a new account.

REQUEST FOR APPLICATION (RFA) FFY 2020 - SNAP EDUCATION
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) is a federally funded program that is a combination of educational strategies, accompanied by supporting policy, systems, and environmental interventions demonstrated to facilitate the adoption of food and physical activity choices and other nutrition-related behaviors conducive to the health and well-being of SNAP participants and low-income individuals eligible to receive benefits under SNAP and individuals residing in communities with a significant low-income population. The SNAP-Ed Program goal is to improve the likelihood that Nevadans eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA food guidance.
