The simple answer is "no".

If the county wants to come after you for reimbursement (and rightly so - please think about this...why should the taxpayers support your child?), they're going to come after you.

In order to avoid repaying the state due to being on welfare is to not get any welfare. If any state aid is sought the state will seek money and child support ordered
