Section 660-3-5-.03 - Receipt Of Payment Directly By TANF Or Non-TANF Recipients

Support payments must be collected by the local collection agent or State disbursement unit, as appropriate, and distributed by the automated child support system. Payments received directly by a TANF recipient or a recipient of Non-TANF support services shall be turned over to the county IV-D collection agent or State disbursement unit for proper processing. Those who do not turn such direct child support payments over to the IV-D agency may be considered non-cooperative. Non-cooperation may result in sanctions or termination of services in accordance with federal regulations. For Non-TANF service recipients subject to termination of services, the Department of Human Resources shall provide a 60-day written notice to the service recipient of the intent to terminate. If the service recipient fails to contact the Department within 60 days and/or if the collections(s) are not turned in and distributed by the Department, services may be terminated and the IV-D case may be closed. If the recipient turns over the payment(s) to the IV-D collection agent in response to the written notice, all IV-D services will continue.
