STATE FINED--LATE ON TRACKING SUPPORT PAYMENTS
The AP has reported that the federal government has assessed the State of South Carolina $58 Million for its failure to create a child support tracking system. Amazingly, the system itself cost "only" $100 Million. The only other state that does not have its system in place is California. But, while California is expected to have its system in place by next year, South Carolina is not expected to have its system in place for another four years and after who knows how many fines. And, in the meantime the $1.2 Billion South Carolina arrearage is increasing by about $100 Million per year.
