Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024

Section 340:25-5-340 - Collection and maintenance of addresses of record

(a)Scope and authority. Section 112A of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes (43 O.S. § 112A) provides the basis for Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) Child Support Services (CSS) to collect and maintain an address of record (AOR) for:

(1) parties and custodial persons (CP) subject to paternity orders or child support orders entered in Oklahoma;

(2) noncustodial parents (NCP) per 56 O.S. § 237A and Oklahoma Administrative Code 340:25-5-213 (OAC 340:25-5-213);

(3) parties and CPs subject to paternity orders or child support orders entered in other jurisdictions; and

(4) parties and CPs when voluntarily submitted.

(b)Establishment of AOR.

(1) CPs and NCPs establish the initial AOR through:

(A) completion of Form 03EN008E, Child Support Services - Address of Record and/or Family Violence Statement;

(B) designation in Form 03EN001E, Application for Child Support Services;

(C) a court order; or

(D) a support order summary form when services are not provided under the OKDHS state Title IV-D plan per 56 O.S. § 237.

(2) When an AOR is established, it remains in effect until it is updated per (c) of this Section.

(c)Updating an AOR.

(1) A person responsible for maintaining an AOR, on file with CSS per 43 O.S. § 112A or 56 O.S. § 237A must notify CSS of any change in the AOR within 30-calendar days. The person may send changes to CSS, Central Case Registry, PO Box 248843, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73124-8843 or to a district child support office. CSS may require proof of a person's identity before establishing or changing a person's name or the AOR and may attempt to verify or confirm the correctness of the AOR.

(2) A CP updates an AOR:

(A) by submitting a new AOR in writing;

(B) by calling CSS customer service at 405-522-2273 in the Oklahoma City calling area, 918-295-3500 in the Tulsa calling area, or toll-free at 1-800-522-2922. CSS updates the mailing address by phone. CSS sends Form 03EN008E, Address of Record and/or Family Violence Statement, in confirmation of the mailing address update and for the CP to complete and return an updated AOR or claim family violence; or

(C) through a court order.

(3) An NCP updates an AOR:

(A) by submitting a new AOR in writing; or

(B) through a court order.

(d)Disclosure of an AOR.

(1) A CP seeking disclosure of another party's or CP's AOR from CSS CCR must submit Form 03EN009E, Request for Address of Record, that:

(A) elicits information about the requester and the reasons for the request; and

(B) includes information about statutory limitations on the AOR release.

(2) CSS may:

(A) refuse to release an AOR per 43 O.S. §§ 112A & 413, OAC 340:25-5-67.1, or other applicable law; and

(B) release an AOR per OAC 340:25-5, Part 9.

(3) When the AOR is not included in a public record document, the AOR of a party or CP may be released by CCR staff or a CSS state's attorney after verifying that the sole purpose of providing the AOR is for service of process in support, visitation, or custody actions. The AOR release by a state's attorney is at the state's attorney's discretion per OAC 340:25-5-67.1 and 43 O.S. § 112A.

(4) When an AOR is established per OAC 340:25-5-340, CSS staff lists the AOR in the certificate of service for all court documents.
