Summary of Bill HR 9352

Bill 118 HR 9352, also known as the Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2024, aims to address the issue of child health coverage in cases of divorce. The bill proposes that in cases where one parent is responsible for providing health insurance for their child, but fails to do so due to a divorce settlement, the other parent can seek compensation for the cost of obtaining health coverage for the child.

The bill outlines a process for the non-responsible parent to submit documentation of the costs incurred in obtaining health coverage for the child, and for the responsible parent to reimburse them for these expenses. This reimbursement would be in addition to any child support payments already agreed upon in the divorce settlement.

The goal of the bill is to ensure that children of divorced parents have access to necessary health coverage, regardless of the circumstances of their parents' divorce. By providing a mechanism for compensation for the non-responsible parent, the bill aims to protect the health and well-being of children in these situations. Overall, the Ensuring Child Health Coverage Compensation in Divorce Act of 2024 seeks to address a gap in current divorce laws and ensure that children's health needs are prioritized during and after divorce proceedings.
