Summary

Children First Child Support Reform Act of 1998 - Amends part D (Child Support and Establishment of Paternity) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to require States to pass through directly to families on assistance under SSA title IV part A (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) (TANF) all child support collected by the State on behalf of such families on TANF assistance.
