Recently, a significant change in the child support 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 debtor registry in the Digital Bookkeeping System for Tax, Social Security and Labor Obligations (eSocial), a measure that promises to facilitate the receipt of the benefit, 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 child support
The new law has a significant impact on the lives of families that depend on child support. Often, those responsible for making payments try to evade their obligations by changing jobs, which makes the collection process more difficult. Therefore, the new regulation ensures that child support recipients, generally children and adolescents, receive the financial support owed to them in a safer and more regular manner.
The importance of registering with eSocial
Registering with eSocial is a fundamental step in ensuring the effectiveness of this new law. With it, employers will be responsible for checking whether employees have child support records from previous jobs. Therefore, this means that, when hiring a new employee, the employer must consult the eSocial and, if there is a record, must continue making deductions from the employee’s salary. In this way, this measure ensures that changing jobs is no longer a strategy for avoiding payment of the 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, a significant reduction in cases of child support payment default is expected, thus ensuring the well-being and financial security of the beneficiary families.
