(5) Initial Notice.
(a) The Department uses Form CS-OA01, Notice of Proceeding to Establish Administrative Support Order (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.), to inform the respondent that the Department has initiated an administrative proceeding to establish a support obligation. This notice is referred to as the "Initial Notice."

a. Financial Affidavit Administrative Support Proceeding (CS-OA11),

c. Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan (CS-OA250), except as provided by paragraph (6)(a).

(b) The Department is authorized to serve the Initial Notice as provided by Section 409.2563(4), F.S. The Department considers the Initial Notice to be properly served if:
1. Someone other than the respondent signs the certified mail receipt and the Department confirms with the respondent by telephone or in-person that the respondent received the Initial Notice,
2. The signature on the certified mail receipt is illegible, but the Department confirms it is the respondent's by comparing it to another source such as Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles DAVID database, or the Department confirms with the respondent by telephone or in-person that the respondent received the Initial Notice, or
3. The Department does not receive confirmation of receipt, but the respondent returns the financial affidavit or other information in response to the Initial Notice. Service is complete if the respondent submits anything in writing that shows the respondent received the Initial Notice.
(6) Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan.
(a) The Department will provide a Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan, form CS-OA250, to each parent as required by Section 409.25633, F.S., unless:
1. Florida is not the child's home state,
2. One or both parents do not reside in Florida,
3. Either parent has requested nondisclosure for fear of harm from the other parent,
4. The parent who owes support is incarcerated, or
5. The parent owed support is a caregiver.
(b) If both parents agree to, sign, and return a parenting time plan to the Department before an administrative Final Order is entered, the parenting time plan will be incorporated into the Final Order. Both parents do not need to sign the same form. If the parents have a judicially established parenting time plan, the plan will not be incorporated in the administrative order.
(7) Proceeding in Circuit Court as an Alternative to the Administrative Process.
(a) As allowed by Sections 409.2563(4)(l) and (m), F.S., the respondent may file a support action in circuit court and serve the Department with a copy of the petition. The respondent must have the petition served on the Deputy Agency Clerk as specified by the Initial Notice, within 20 days after the date the respondent is served the Initial Notice. If the Department is served timely, the administrative proceeding ends and the case proceeds in circuit court. If the respondent files a petition in circuit court, but does not serve the Department in the 20-day time frame, the Department will continue with the administrative establishment proceeding. If the petition is served on the Department timely, the Department will mail the petitioning parent or caregiver Form CS-OA88, Dismissal of Administrative Proceeding (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.).
(b) Respondent Asks the Department to Proceed in Circuit Court. The respondent may ask the Department to stop the administrative proceeding and proceed in circuit court. The respondent must make this request in writing and the request must be received by the Department within 20 days after being served the Initial Notice. The request from the respondent must state that the respondent requests the Department proceed with the determination of the support obligation in circuit court or that the respondent states his or her intentions to address custody matters or parental rights issues in circuit court. Oral requests are not accepted. If the respondent files a timely request for the Department to file an action in circuit court, the Department will send the respondent Form CS-OA247, Request for Court Action Status Update (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). The Department sends the petitioning parent Form CS-OA248, Notice of Court Action Financial Affidavit Needed for Court (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). The Department then sends the petitioning parent Form CS-PO31, Family Law Financial Affidavit (incorporated by reference, in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). When the petitioning parent returns the CS-PO31, the Department will file a petition with the clerk of court to determine the support obligation and obtain a civil case number. If the petitioning parent does not return the CS-PO31, the Department shall initiate case closure if the petitioning parent is not receiving public assistance. If the petitioning parent is receiving Medicaid or food assistance, the Department shall report noncooperation to the Department of Children and Families as required by Section 409.2572, F.S., and initiate case closure. If the petitioning parent is receiving temporary cash assistance for the child, the Department shall prepare a financial affidavit for the other parent as authorized by Section 61.30(15), F.S.
(c) When the Department receives a stamped copy of the petition back from the clerk, it sends a copy of the petition to the respondent by certified mail, return receipt requested. Along with the copy of the petition, the Department sends Form CS-OA18, Notice of Commencement of Action and Request for Waiver of Service of Process Administrative Paternity Proceeding (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). The Department also sends two copies of Form CS-OA19, Waiver of Service of Process (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). If the respondent is represented by an attorney, the Department sends the packet of forms and petition to the respondent's attorney. The respondent has 10 days from the receipt of these forms to sign and complete one copy of the CS-OA19 and return it to the Department. If the Department does not receive the signed completed CS-OA19 within 10 days, it proceeds with the establishment of the support obligation administratively. The Department will also file a voluntary dismissal of the civil case with the clerk of court and mail a copy of the voluntary dismissal to the respondent. If the respondent completes and returns the CS-OA19 within 10 days, the Department sends the petitioner the Dismissal of Administrative Proceeding CS-OA88 form. The Department will then end the administrative proceeding and proceed in circuit court.
(8) Proposed Administrative Support Order.
(a) After the Department serves the respondent with the Initial Notice in accordance with paragraph (5)(b), no sooner than 20 days after service, the Department shall calculate the respondent's support obligation using the child support guidelines in Section 61.30, F.S. If the respondent does not provide financial information within the time required by Sections 409.2563(13)(a) and (b), F.S., the Department shall impute income as provided by Section 61.30(2)(b) or 409.2563(5), F.S., as applicable.

The Department shall mail the Proposed Order to the respondent by regular mail to the respondent's address of record. The Proposed Order shall include a notice of rights that informs the respondent of the right to an informal discussion with the Department, the right to a formal administrative hearing, and the right to consent to the entry of an Administrative Support Order.

The Department shall provide a copy of the Proposed Order and its attachments to the petitioner at the petitioner's address of record.
(d) The Proposed Order must include an explanation of any deviations from the guidelines the Department considered when calculating the support obligation and any retroactive support owed.
(e) Except as provided by paragraph (6)(a), a blank Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan is included with Form CS-OA20 when the parents do not provide a parenting time plan of their own or do not agree to the Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan.
(f) If additional facts or information become available to the Department that materially changes the Proposed Order, the Department shall prepare an amended Proposed Administrative Paternity and Support Order, using Form CS-OA20 (from now on referred to as the Amended Proposed Order). An Amended Proposed Order shall include guideline worksheets to explain the changes and the requirements established in Section 409.2563(5)(a), F.S. The Department does not amend the Proposed Order if the additional facts or information become available after the respondent has requested an administrative hearing. Any additional facts or information are addressed at the hearing.
(9) Informal Discussions.
(a) The respondent may ask the Department to informally discuss the proposed order as authorized by Section 409.2563(5)(c)5., F.S.
(b) If the respondent asks for an informal discussion within 10 days of the date the Department mailed the Proposed Order, the Department shall extend the time limit for the respondent to request a hearing.

The Department will use Form CS-OA32, Notice of Conclusion of Informal Discussion Administrative Paternity Proceeding (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.), to inform the respondent the informal discussions have ended. The deadline for asking for an administrative hearing will not occur before 20 days from the date the Department mailed the Proposed Order to the respondent regardless of when the informal discussions have ended.
(c) The respondent may contact the Department to discuss the case at any time, however, contact outside the time frame referenced in paragraph (9)(b), does not extend the time to request a hearing. If the respondent asks the Department for an informal discussion outside of the time frame referenced above, the Department shall send the respondent Form CS-OA35, Notice of Late Request for Informal Discussion Administrative Proceeding (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.), and inform the respondent that the Department will discuss the Proposed Order with the respondent, but will not extend the time to request an administrative hearing.
(d) The following types of contact do not constitute a request for informal discussion:

(c) The Department acknowledges all timely hearing requests received by the Deputy Agency Clerk using Form CS-OA55, Acknowledgment of Hearing Request Administrative Proceeding (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.).

(e) If the Department receives an untimely request for an administrative hearing, the Department denies the request and sends the respondent the Acknowledgment of Hearing Request Administrative Proceeding (Form CS-OA55). This form notifies the respondent that the request was not timely and the Department will proceed without a hearing.
(f) If the Department determines that an administrative hearing is appropriate, it may refer the proceeding to the Division of Administrative Hearings without issuing a Proposed Administrative Support Order. The Department may ask for an administrative hearing and the Division of Administrative Hearings shall conduct an administrative hearing to determine the support obligation when:
1. The Department is not able to determine the income of the respondent, or
2. The amount of income claimed by one party is disputed by the other party.
(11) Final Administrative Support Orders. The Department uses Form CS-OA40, Final Administrative Paternity and Support Order (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.) to establish the support obligation. Section 409.2563(7)(e), F.S., sets the requirement for the Final Administrative Support Order and the minimum requirements for the content of the order. In addition to the Final Administrative Support Order, the Department enters an Income Deduction Order as part of the Final Administrative Support Order. The respondent is responsible for making the ordered payments to the State Disbursement Unit until the income deduction begins. Once rendered, a Final Administrative Support Order has the same force and effect as a court order and it remains in effect until the Department modifies it, or it is vacated as described in subsection (17), or it is superseded by a court order. If an administrative hearing is held, the administrative law judge shall issue an administrative support order, or a final order denying an administrative support order. If both parents agree to, sign, and return a parenting time plan to the Department before an administrative Final Order is entered, the parenting time plan will be incorporated into the Final Order. If a parenting time plan is not incorporated into the Final Order, the Department will provide each parent a blank Petition to Establish a Parenting Time Plan, except as provided by paragraph (6)(a). The Petition to Establish a Parenting Time Plan is available at www.floridarevenue.com/childsupport/parenting_time_plans.
(12) A respondent may consent to the entry of a final order any time after the receipt of the Initial Notice.

If the respondent returns the Waiver of Opt-Out Administrative Proceeding, Financial Affidavit, and Parent Information Form, the Department sends the respondent Form CS-ES97, Waiver of Administrative Hearing (incorporated by reference in Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C.). The Department also sends a copy of the Proposed Administrative Support Order discussed in subsection (8), of this rule. If the respondent completes and returns the CS-ES97, the Department need not wait 27 days from sending the Proposed Order to complete and render a Final Administrative Paternity and Support Order, CS-OA40. If the respondent does not return the CS-ES97, the Department waits at least 27 days after sending the Proposed Order before completing a Final Administrative Paternity and Support Order.
(13) Judicial Enforcement of Administrative Support Order. The Department may initiate judicial enforcement of an administrative support order by filing a petition for enforcement of administrative support order in circuit court. To do this, the Department must serve the respondent with a summons and a copy of the petition. If the circuit court issues an order enforcing the administrative support order, and the respondent does not comply, the Department may initiate contempt proceedings for violation of the court order.
(14) Modifying an Administrative Support Order.
(a) The Department files a petition in circuit court for a superseding order when support for an additional child of the same parents needs to be established or a child needs to be removed from the order.
(b) A parent or caregiver may request orally or in writing that the Department review an administrative support order in accordance with Rule 12E-1.041, F.A.C.
(c) The Department notifies the parents or caregiver, as applicable, when it begins a proceeding to modify an administrative support order issued by the Department.
1. The Department uses a Proposed Order to Modify Administrative Support Order (Form CS-OA120R), hereby incorporated by reference, effective 09/23, (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-15857), when a support order review indicates modification is appropriate. If the party who does not request the review responds to the Department during the review, the Department sends the proposed order by regular mail to both parties at their addresses of record. If the non-requesting party does not participate in the support order review, the Department attempts to serve the proposed order on the non-requesting party by certified mail or personal service. If the party is not served by certified mail or personal service, the Department sends the non-requesting party the proposed order by regular mail to the non-requesting party's address of record. If the proposed order is not contested by either party within 30 days after service by certified mail or personal service, or 35 days after the notice is sent by regular mail, the Department prepares and renders a Final Modified Administrative Support Order (Form CS-OA140R), hereby incorporated by reference, effective 09/23, (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-15858). Under Section 409.2563(13)(c), F.S., a party to an administrative proceeding has a continuing duty to provide the Department with a current mailing address after being served with an initial notice under paragraph (5)(b) of this rule, and the party is presumed to receive a subsequent notice, proposed order or other document mailed to the party's address of record including a proposed order to modify support.

Except as provided by paragraph (6)(a), a blank Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan is included with Form CS-OA120R and CS-OA140R when the parents do not provide a parenting time plan of their own or do not agree to a Title IV-D Standard Parenting Time Plan. If a parenting time plan is not incorporated into the Final Modified Administrative Order, the Department will provide each parent a blank Petition to Establish a Parenting Time Plan, except as provided by paragraph (6)(a).
