The Child Welfare Trust Fund account was established to receive benefits for survivors or other awards payable to children receiving child welfare services in a county whose population is less than 100,000. These benefits and other awards, including Social Security and Supplemental Income, must be deposited in the State Treasury for credit to this fund. The Division of Child and Family Services maintains a separate account for each child who receives money and deducts from the account any dollar amounts that were paid with public money for services provided to the child. Surplus balances are distributed in accordance with the guidance provided by the entity that issued the funds. The Treasurer's Office credits accrued interest to each child's separate account which is maintained in the Trust Fund for Child Welfare at the end of each interest period. Statutory Authority: NRS 432.037.
