Casino winnings, tax refunds and Gulf oil leak settlements are helping state government in Louisiana collect child support.
“Casino intercepts are just one tool used to collect the more than $1.2 billion in unpaid child support (that) is owed by parents in LA,” Suzy Sonnier, secretary of the state Department of Children and Family Services tweeted Monday.
The state intercepted:
- $43.7 million in state and federal tax refunds in 2012.
- $8.4 million from settlements tied to the 2010 BP oil leak.
- Nearly $850,000 since September 2011 from casino winnings.
At the same time, the state’s backlog in unpaid child support remains largely stagnant as parents fail to keep current on their payments.
