  R527-40. Retained Support  

R527-40-1. Authority and Purpose
Latest version.

(1) The Department of Human Services is authorized to create rules necessary for the provision of social services by Section 62A-1-111. The Office of Recovery Services (ORS) is authorized to adopt, amend, and enforce rules as necessary by Section 62A-11-107.

(2) The purpose of this rule is to define "retained support" in regards to a child support case, and to provide details as to how the amount owed is calculated once a retained support case has been opened for an obligee who has retained payments that were assigned to the state.
R527-40-2. Retained Support
Latest version.

(1) The term Retained Support refers to a situation in which an obligee who has assigned support rights to the state has received child support but failed to forward the payment(s) to ORS.

(2) The agent will refer the case to the appropriate child support team with the evidence to support the referral.

(3) In computing the amount owed, the obligee will be given credit for the $50 pass-through payment for any months prior to March, 1997, in which support was retained by the client. For example, if the obligee received and kept a support payment of $200 in February, 1997, the referral will be made as a $150 debt. For support payments retained on or after March 1, 1997, no credit shall be given because there will be no pass-through payments for support payments made after February 28, 1997.
