Alaska Statutes.

Title 47. Welfare, Social Services and Institutions

Chapter 25. Public Assistance

Section 240. Action Against Person Liable For Care of Recipient.

AS 47.25.240. Action Against Person Liable For Care of Recipient.

If, during the continuance of an allowance, the department ascertains that a person liable for the support of the recipient of assistance is able to provide the necessary care and support of the recipient, and the person liable for the care and support of the recipient fails or refuses to support and care for the recipient, the state has a claim for the assistance against the person liable for it. This claim may be enforced by civil action brought in the name of the state by the attorney general against the person liable for the recovery of the amount of money, with interest, paid to the recipient, together with the costs and disbursements of the action.
