Recently, a significant change in the alimony payment process was approved by the Chamber of Deputies, bringing important news for those involved in this process. Thus, the new legislation proposes the creation of a registry of debtors in the Digital Recording System for Tax, Social Security and Labor Obligations (eSocial), a measure that promises to facilitate the receipt of income, especially in cases where the debtor changes jobs.
This change is crucial as it ensures that child support payments are more consistent and less susceptible to delays or interruptions. With the implementation of this new rule, all employers must record the amounts deducted from employees’ salaries in eSocial.

Impact of the new law on the lives of families receiving pensions
The new law has a significant impact on the lives of families who depend on child support. Often, those responsible for paying child support try to avoid their obligations by changing jobs, which makes the collection process more difficult. Therefore, the new regulation ensures that child support recipients, usually children and adolescents, receive the financial support they are owed in a more secure and regular manner.
The importance of registering with eSocial
Registering with eSocial is a fundamental step to ensure the effectiveness of this new law. With it, employers will be responsible for verifying the existence of alimony records in employees' previous jobs. Therefore, this means that when hiring a new employee, the employer must consult the eSocial and, if there is a record, the deductions from the employee's salary must continue. In this way, this measure ensures that changing jobs is no longer a strategy to avoid paying income.
The new legislation represents a significant step forward in guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents who depend on child support. It simplifies the collection process and ensures that payments are made more efficiently and fairly, regardless of changes in the debtor's professional career. With these changes, it is expected that there will be a significant reduction in cases of default on payments, thus ensuring the well-being and financial security of the families receiving benefits.
