no, you give up your claim for support by filing for Welfare. That is why most tell the father to just pay them cash, than tell welfare that they don't know where the father is, or who. When ush comes to shove, the father is the one punished, not her.

Yes, if the amount of child support received is less than the welfare payment level for that person's family. In such a case, the State will retain the support as reimbursement.
