Utah Admin. Code 527-920-3

Current through Bulletin 2024-17, September 1, 2024
Section R527-920-3 - Exceptions
(1) Exceptions to mandatory disbursements through electronic funds transfer are allowed as follows:
(a) for a period of no more than 60 days after a case is opened with an enforceable support order;
(b) for a period of no more than 60 days after a first-time support order is established;
(c) for a period of no more than 60 days while an obligee changes the account to be used for receiving future electronic funds transfers;
(d) for an indefinite time period if an obligee resides in a foreign country and an electronic funds transfer cannot be facilitated; or
(e) for an indefinite period of time if the obligee is not bankable by a financial institution or eligible for any electronic payment program or electronic access card offered by ORS.
(2) The ORS director or deputy director may approve additional exceptions to mandatory disbursements through electronic funds transfers on a case-by-case basis if the obligee presents a request in writing and can demonstrate that electronic funds transfers would result in an undue hardship to that obligee. The ORS director or deputy director will determine the duration of the exception based on the individual circumstances.
(3) Disbursements through electronic funds transfer will not be mandatory for ORS if technical problems prevent successful electronic disbursement within the federally-mandated disbursement time frames found in 45 CFR 302.32.
