HB 1040 updates South Dakota's child support payment schedule by increasing the self-support reserve—the minimum monthly income a parent must keep for their own basic needs—from $871 to $1,148 per month. This change means parents with very low incomes will have a higher threshold before they're required to pay child support, potentially resulting in lower child support obligations for parents earning near the minimum income levels.
