9 Colo. Code Regs. § 2504-1-6.906
The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, is the single point of contact between Child Support Services and the financial institutions.
Obligors shall be selected for Financial Institution Data Match on all of their court orders after they have been advised of their due process rights by the issuance of the annual pre-offset notice and the following selection criteria:
The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, shall exclude partnership, custodial, and commercial accounts or accounts otherwise precluded by law. Pursuant to Section 26-13-128, C.R.S., and the "Uniform Transfers to Minors Act" and trust accounts of monies held in trust by a third party shall not be attached, encumbered or surrendered.
Within seven (7) calendar days of the date the electronic notification is generated from the automated child support system, the county child support services worker shall review the accepted match to ensure that the ledger is accurate and to ensure that issuing a lien and levy against the obligor's financial account is appropriate.
All changes or other actions taken shall be documented in the automated child support system by the county child support services worker.
The county Child Support Services worker may, within the allotted seven (7) calendar days, suppress the accepted court order match on a temporary basis by updating the suppression code on the automated child support system.
The request for an indefinite suppression shall be submitted to the "SEU FIDM" mailbox electronically by the administrator of the Child Support Services Unit.
If the court order match has not been suppressed, the automated child support system will create a lien and levy document on the eighth calendar day after the accepted match. The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, will submit the lien and levy to the financial institution.
Seven calendar days after the lien and levy document has been sent to the financial institution, the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, will notify the obligor and any non-debtor account holders of the lien and levy of the account along with the exception/exemption policy and/or the appeal policy.
The obligor is responsible for providing the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, documentation in support of the above situations.
The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, shall review the claim and document its decision whether to approve or deny the claim. The claim shall be reviewed within three business days of receipt based upon the documentation outlined in the lien and levy exception/exemption policy that is included with the Notice of Lien and Levy. If the claim is approved, the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, will issue a release of lien and levy to the financial institution. If the claim is denied, the lien and levy will remain in effect. The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, shall notify the obligor and the county child support services worker of the claim decision.
The lien placed on any and all types of joint account(s) shall require the financial institution to freeze one hundred percent (100%) of the assets on deposit as of the date of the lien. "Joint accounts" means multiple party accounts as defined in Section 15-15-201(5), C.R.S. The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, shall take the following actions:
The levied funds are sent to the Family Support Registry and are allocated according to the obligor's court orders that were included on the FIDM lien and levy.
