R527-40-2. Retained Support

(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.
