Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Effective 3/1/86 the Department of Health and Human Resources, Office of Family Security will began charging an application fee of $122.50 to non-FITAP payees who apply for full-service Internal Revenue Services (IRS) Collection. IRS charges the Support Enforcement Program $122.50 for each full-service case referred to them whether or not collection is successful. Full service IRS eligibility and the agency agreement to reimburse the secretary of the treasury for collection costs are outlined in 45 CFR 303.71.

B. Cases are eligible for IRS certification if:

1. there is a court or administrative order for support;

2. the amount to be collected under the support order is at least $750 in arrears;

3. at least six months have elapsed since the last IRS full service referral;

4. the IV-D agency, the client, or the client's representative shall have made reasonable efforts to collect the support through the state's own collection mechanisms; and

5. there is an application for services specified under 45 CFR 302.33.

C. In establishing that reasonable collection efforts have been made, the agency is required to file a statement of collection actions taken, why they failed, and why further state action would be unproductive.
