252B.11 RECOVERY OF COSTS OF COLLECTION SERVICES.
The unit may initiate necessary civil proceedings to recover the
unit's costs of support collection services provided to an
individual, whether or not the individual is a public assistance
recipient, from an individual who owes and is able to pay a support
obligation but willfully fails to pay the obligation. The unit may
seek a lump sum recovery of the unit's costs or may seek to recover
the unit's costs through periodic payments which are in addition to
periodic support payments. If the unit's costs are recovered from an
individual owing a support obligation, the costs shall not be
deducted from the amount of support money received from the
individual. The costs collected pursuant to this section shall be
retained by the department for use by the unit. The director or a
designee shall keep an accurate record of funds so retained. Section History: Recent Form
