We do not know as we are not agents of the executive branch of government. The inner working of support collections are a mystery to us.
However, based on prior client experience, changes go into effect immediately. However, the mother is free to file for child support and she will get it unless the child is twenty one years of age or older.
Another variation on this theme (depending on who filed the original support petition) is that only the assignment of the mother's order of support ended, and the order of support now inures to the mother's benefit which means the order of support will continue but be payable to the mother.

In New York State, when a support magistrate vacates a child support order due to changes in public assistance status, the effective date of the change is typically the date of the hearing. This means that any adjustments or termination of support obligations usually take effect immediately from that date. citeturn0search2
However, the exact timeline for the change to be reflected in payment processing can vary. It's advisable to contact the child support enforcement agency or the court clerk's office in your county to confirm when the vacated order will be officially updated in their system. This will ensure that all parties have accurate and current information regarding support obligations.
