252B.16 TRANSFER OF SUPPORT ORDER PROCESSING
RESPONSIBILITIES -- ONGOING PROCEDURES.
1. For a support order being processed by the clerk of the
district court, upon notification that the unit is providing
enforcement services related to the order, the clerk of the district
court shall immediately transfer the responsibility for the
disbursement of support payments received pursuant to the order to
the collection services center.
2. The department shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A to
ensure that the affected parties are notified that the support
payment disbursement responsibilities have been transferred to the
collection services center from the clerk of the district court. The
rules shall include a provision requiring that a notice shall be sent
by regular mail to the last known addresses of the obligee and the
obligor. The issuance of notice to the obligor is the equivalent of
a court order requiring the obligor to direct payment to the
collection services center for disbursement.
3. Once the responsibility for receiving and disbursing support
payments has been transferred from a clerk of the district court to
the collection services center, the responsibility shall remain with
the collection services center even if the child support recovery
unit is no longer providing enforcement services, unless redirected
by court order. However, the responsibility for receiving and
disbursing income withholding payments shall not be redirected to a
clerk of the district court. Section History: Recent Form
