Section III-2802 - Agency Guidelines

A. Information required to be provided in order for the department to properly identify and distribute payments are the names, mailing addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth of both the custodial and absent parent, obligation amount, effective date of obligation, frequency of payment, docket number, child(ren)'s name(s), child(ren)'s Social Security numbers, and child(ren)'s dates of birth. Custodial parents must report changes of address to the Department of Social Services. If there is insufficient identifying information to process a payment, the department will hold payments in a suspense file until necessary information is received.

B. Whenever a posting and/or distribution error is discovered resulting in an overpayment, action will be taken to resolve the problem by asking the custodial parent to return the check to the department. Otherwise, the department will institute recoupment of the overpayment by withholding up to 10 percent from future payment(s) in the case.

C. When there are disputes regarding the handling of the immediate income assignment on a non-IV-D case, the parties may ask for an administrative review of the matter through written request to the director, Support Enforcement Services, Box 94065, Baton Rouge, LA 70804-4065.
