Section 468-3-003 - BUDGET CALCULATION WITH CHILD, SPOUSAL, AND CASH MEDICAL SUPPORT Any child, spousal, and cash medical support, including arrears, (see Title 466) paid to the Nebraska Child Support Payment Center or paid directly to the applicant by the noncustodial parent before the approval date is considered in determining eligibility. The total amount of child, spousal, and cash medical support is considered.
003.01COMPARISON TO AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN PAYMENT AMOUNT. If the average monthly child, spousal, or cash medical support collection exceeds the unit's Aid to Dependent Children payment amount, the Aid to Dependent Children case will be closed.003.02COUNTING AS UNEARNED INCOME. Child support, for months where the unit did not receive an Aid to Dependent Children grant, which is distributed to the custodial parent is counted as unearned income in the Aid to Dependent Children budget. A three-month average of the amount distributed is used to determine the amount of unearned income.003.03OVERPAYMENT DUE TO CHILD SUPPORT. If the applicant receives child or spousal support before the Aid to Dependent Children approval date but it has not been budgeted, there is an Aid to Dependent Children overpayment. If the recipient receives child or spousal support after the approval date, the support is not counted in the budget because it is assigned. Support received and retained by the recipient after the approval of Aid to Dependent Children constitutes a Child Support Enforcement overpayment.468 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 3, § 003
