The Child Support Act of 1979 provides in part that, by accepting FA, each recipient of FA in his care has assigned to the Department of Human Resources the right to any child support owed for or to him and/or for or to the children in his care up to the amount of FA paid to him/them. No separate assignment form is necessary. The FA application is considered an assignment of support rights which is enforced beginning with the month in which FA is approved and continues in effect for each person included in the budget for as long as he is included.
