A medicaid only recipient, for whom an assignment of support rights is in effect, must receive medical support services but may choose to receive full services. If the recipient elects to receive full services, the recipient is required to turn over all child support received, to be distributed in accordance with federal and state regulations. If the recipient elects to receive only medical support services, the recipient may keep child support payments received directly from the payor.
