Summary


The first section of this rule provides the authority of the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) to create rules pursuant to Sections 62A-1-111 and 62A-11-107, as well as pursuant to Subsection 62A-11-703(6) requiring rules on how ORS will determine the eligibility of an obligor to make child support payments to ORS via automatic payment withdrawal. (While the statute has been in place for several years, the technology changes allowing this alternative payment method will finally be implemented in spring of 2018.) The second section explains that pursuant to Section 62A-11-703, ORS may enter into an agreement with an obligor to automatically withdraw from an obligor's account at a financial institution a specified dollar amount on a specified date(s) each month, via electronic funds transfer, for payment of the obligor's child support obligation. This section outlines the criteria established by ORS which must be met for a case to qualify for automatic payment withdrawal. Finally, this section allows the ORS Director discretion to terminate any agreement for abuse or cause.
