39-756a. Time assignment of support rights under 39-709 remains in effect; assignment of rights to payment for medical care unaffected. An assignment of support rights pursuant to K.S.A. 39-709, and amendments thereto, shall remain in full force and effect so long as the secretary is providing public assistance in accordance with a plan under which federal moneys are expended on behalf of the applicant, recipient or child for: (a) Temporary assistance for needy families; (b) medical assistance; or (c) the expenses of a child in the secretary's care or custody pursuant to K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 38-2201 et seq. or 38-2301 et seq., and amendments thereto, or so long as the secretary is providing support services pursuant to K.S.A. 39-756, and amendments thereto. Upon discontinuance of all such assistance and support services, the assignment shall remain in effect as to unpaid support obligations due and owing at the time of the discontinuance of assistance until the claim of the secretary for repayment of the unreimbursed portion of any assistance is satisfied. If the secretary's claim for reimbursement is only for medical assistance, the assignment shall only remain in effect as to unpaid support obligations due and owing at the time of the discontinuance of medical assistance that are designated as medical support. Nothing herein shall affect or limit the rights of the secretary under an assignment of rights to payment for medical care from a third party pursuant to K.S.A. 39-709, and amendments thereto.
