10-144-351 Me. Code R. § 4-3
In the case of an individual who has applied for child support services and never received assistance under a state program for the children in that case and for whom the State has collected at least $550 in child support in a fiscal year, the Department shall impose an annual $35 fee for each child support enforcement case. The fee shall be retained by the State from child support collected on behalf of the individual after the collected exceeds $550 and shall be deemed to be paid by the custodial parent.
The annual fee may not be considered as an administrative cost of the State for operation of child support enforcement services and must be considered income to the program under which the individual has received child support enforcement services. The non-federal share of the annual fee collected pursuant to this subsection must be deposited as General Fund undedicated revenue.
