State Department to revoke more passports from people who haven't paid child support
The State Department is planning to revoke more passports from people with large amounts of outstanding unpaid child support.
Individuals who owe more than $100,000 will be among the first groups targeted by the State Department for passport revocation, a U.S. official told the Associated Press. Those who enroll in a payment plan could avoid revocation.
Three U.S. officials told the wire that the Trump administration is planning to revoke travel documents under the 1996 passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.
The act authorizes the Passport Denial Program, which allows government officials to revoke travel documents for parents with unpaid child support totaling more than $2,500. In the past, passports were only revoked in the midst of a renewal or when someone sought consular services. However, the Trump administration is now planning to seek out those in arrears, per the AP.
