This bill amends Section 633.356 of the Iowa Code to facilitate the distribution of child support owed to a decedent by allowing successors of decedents with very small estates (valued at $50,000 or less) to access undistributed child support payments. Specifically, it mandates that child support services, as defined in section 252B.2, create and provide a form that successors can use to claim these payments when they are held by child support services or the collection services center, as established in section 252B.13A.

The new provision aims to streamline the process for successors to collect owed child support, ensuring that these funds are accessible even in the context of small estates. This change is intended to provide clarity and support for families dealing with the financial implications of a decedent's estate, particularly in cases where child support payments are involved.
