COEUR d’ALENE — More than 400,000 Idaho residents will be affected if Idaho refuses to come into compliance with federal child support laws within 60 days.
The Department of Health and Welfare met with Vicki Turetsky, commissioner for the federal Office of Child Support and Enforcement Monday to discuss what will happen to the Idaho Child Support Program after the Idaho Legislature declined to approve a bill allowing the state to meet minimum federal program requirements.
According to a statement released by the department commissioner, Turetsky will send out a letter by the end of the week giving Idaho 60 days to correct the action and meet federal compliance.
