(a)

Each local child support agency shall:

Obtain a surety bond against losses resulting from employee dishonesty for every employee who receives, disburses, handles, or otherwise has access to any child support funds or support collections under the child support enforcement program required by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.

(2)

Ensure surety bonds are established in amounts sufficient to protect the local child support agency against loss from employee dishonesty.

(3)

Ensure compliance with the bonding requirements specified in this Section by any other public or private agencies with which a plan of cooperation or purchase of service agreement is established involving any cash handling and/or accounting function.

(b)

Bonding requirements may be satisfied by a county's self-bonding or self-insurance program, as permitted by local ordinance, code or local government resolution, if the self-bond or self-insurance is adequate to cover any loss of child support funds or support collections as a result of employee dishonesty.

(c)

Any local child support agency that uses a self-bonding or self-insurance program to protect against loss, shall identify a county official to certify the following to the Department: “This county is self-bonded or self-insured for an amount adequate to cover any loss of child support funds or support collections as a result of employee dishonesty.”

(d)

Each local child support agency shall make available, upon the request of the Department, proof of bonding by providing:

(1)

A copy of the bond that meets the requirement specified in subsection (a)(1) above; or

(2)

The certification specified in subsection (b)(1) for self-bonded or self-insured counties.

(e)

In no case shall any bonds or insurance acquired in compliance with this section reduce or limit the liability of the county or the local child support agency for losses of child support collections.
