Section R527-258-5 - Enforcing Child Support When the Obligor is Released from an In-Patient Treatment Program(1) The IV-A p a st -due support debt that accrued while the obligor was in an in-patient treatment program may be forgiven one time, if the full monthly current support payment and the full monthly assessed payment toward the past-due support debt have been made for 12 consecutive months. The 12 consecutive month period begins when the obligor has been released from an in-patient treatment program and the obligor has contacted ORS to make payment arrangements within the allotted 30 days.(2) ORS will use the federal income withholding notice and procedures to enforce and collect the current support and an arrears payment, when appropriate. ORS will also use the federal National Medical Support Notice and procedures to enforce insurance coverage for the children, if appropriate.(3) If the obligor does not make the full payment in each of the first six months, additional collection or enforcement action may be taken.(4) If the obligor makes the full required payment each month for 12 consecutive months, ORS shall forgive the remaining IV-A support debt that accrued during the most recent treatment period. IV-A debt forgiveness due to participation in an in-patient or out-patient treatment program will only occur one time per obligor. (5) If the obligor owes IV-A arrears only, the obligor must make 12 consecutive monthly payments to ORS based on an assessed amount determined by ORS.(6) The obligor's arrearage payment shall be reassessed by ORS if the obligor's financial situation changes during the 12-month period.Utah Admin.
