Full text
13.1. If social aid is paid to a creditor of support before or after such support has been granted to him by judgment, the Minister is subrogated of right in the rights of the creditor up to the amount of the aid granted and the amounts due by the debtor, unless the creditor elects to exercise his recourse himself.
The Minister may, to exercise the subrogation, take any proceeding that the creditor himself could have taken.
If the amount of the support is greater than the amount of the aid, the creditor may mandate the Minister in writing, if he is subrogated, to collect the difference on his behalf.
