Section 8.50.132.8 - EFFORTS TO LOCATE

Before support may be declared unclaimed by the department, the department shall make reasonable attempts to locate the owner. These attempts shall include the following:

A. If there is no case or payee identified in the support transmittal, the department shall attempt to ascertain the case to which property should be applied through any documents accompanying the payment.

B. If unable to ascertain the case to which the support should be applied, the department shall attempt to contact the person, if any, named in the return address on the mailing envelope by mailing a notice of intent to declare property unclaimed to the return address.

C. If the owner has moved or support cannot be delivered to the owner's last known address on file with the IV-D agency, the IV-D agency will utilize standard locate resources (per 8.50.106 NMAC) to determine if a current address or employer can be obtained for the owner. If use of standard locate resources is unsuccessful, the department shall mail notice of intent to declare support unclaimed to the owner's last known home and employer's address, if the address is on file with the department.
