(1) A waiver request may be made when:
(2) A loss of income described in Subsection (1)(c) may include non-payment of child support from the other parent for the children at home, loss of employment, or loss of monthly pension or annuity payments.
(3) The requesting agency's caseworker shall initiate the waiver request and forward it to their supervisor, regional director, division director, or designee for approval.
(4) After a support order has been established, if required, the requesting agency may approve or deny the Good Cause Waiver request at any stage in the process. The supervisor, regional director, division director, or designee described in Subsection (3) may not approve the waiver request when it proposes actions that are contrary to state or federal law. Once all levels in the requesting agency have approved the waiver, the division director or designee shall send the waiver to the ORS director or designee.
(5) The ORS director or designee will review the waiver request, and if appropriate, ORS will stop collection efforts and close the child support cases intended to reimburse the state for time in custody. ORS will notify the caseworker for the requesting agency that the waiver has been processed. The requesting agency will notify the family of the final decision.
