(a) DCS may contact or meet with the party to explain how DCS has computed the amount of support assigned to the state on the party's case.

(b) The party may withdraw their request for a hearing by notifying DCS in writing.

(4) Once a determination has been made, DCS will not conduct further review of the amount of arrears that DCS reports as assigned to the state unless:
