Section 17b-179(b)-2 - Redirection of support payments

(a)Payment to the state

Upon the establishment of a IV-D case, BCSE shall take appropriate CCSES and other actions to redirect all payments under pre-existing support orders to the State of Connecticut acting by and through the IV-D agency. When an order is redirected, BCSE shall notify the obligee and shall mail promptly to the obligor a notice informing him or her of such actions, which notice shall provide

(1) an explanation of the basis for such actions;

(2) information on the terms of the support order;

(3) instructions for making payments to the state disbursement unit, as defined in subdivision (a) (3) of Section 17b-179(m) -6 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies;

(4) a summary of the remedies for noncompliance with the support order;

(5) notice of the obligor's right to a hearing prior to imposition of any sanction, the right to appointment of an attorney to represent him or her prior to incarceration for contempt in the case of indigency, the right to request a review of the support order, and the right to petition the court for a modification of such order; and

(6) the address and telephone number of the individual or agency to contact if the obligor has any questions about the notice or disputes any information about the support order.

(b)Distribution to the custodial relative

Payments redirected to the state acting by and through the IV-D agency under subsection (a) of this section shall continue to be made to the state disbursement unit for as long as IV-D services are being provided. Upon the discontinuance of cases in which support rights have been assigned to the state in accordance with section 17b-77 of the Connecticut General Statutes, current child support payments shall be distributed to the custodial party of record on the date of discontinuance, for the benefit of the children named in the support order.
