a. The State IV-D agency shall have the authority to charge an application fee to individuals not receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families who apply for IV-D services.

(1) The application fee shall be uniformly applied on a Statewide basis and shall be a flat dollar amount not to exceed $25 or other amount as may be appropriate for any fiscal year to reflect administrative costs.

(2) The fee shall be collected directly from the individual who applied for IV-D services.

(3) The State IV-D agency shall determine by regulation the distribution of the fees collected.

b. In addition to the application fee, the State IV-D agency shall charge a $25 annual fee for the collection of child support for IV-D services in those cases in which the State has collected at least $500 on behalf of an individual receiving support for a child who has never received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

The State IV-D agency shall have the authority to pay the fee using federal incentive dollars as available, and when not available, the State IV-D agency shall exercise its option under the federal “Deficit Reduction Act of 2005,” Pub.L.109-171 and its implementing regulations to collect the fee from the non-custodial parent.
