04047 or the JFS 04017 and the JFS 04048, "Addendum to a Withholding
Order" (effective or revised effective date as identified in rule

child and obligee. (F) The CSEA may but is not required to supplement the JFS 04047
or JFS 04017 and JFS 04048 with additional notices or court orders as long as

Rule 5101:12-50-12 | Lump sum payments.
Effective:
February 11, 2019
(A) This rule describes the
responsibilities of a payor and a child support enforcement agency (CSEA)
regarding lump sum payments to be made to an obligor by a payor when the
obligor is subject to income withholding pursuant to section 3121.03 of the
Revised Code. (B) The following definitions are
applicable to this rule: (1) "Cash out of
vacation pay" means income disbursed to an employee in lieu of actual
vacation or leave taken. When a payor notifies a CSEA of a lump sum payment
that is for a cash out of vacation pay, the CSEA shall proceed in accordance
with this rule. (2) "Lump sum
payment" means a supplemental payment that an obligor is receiving or is
eligible to receive from a payor who has received an income withholding notice
regarding the obligor. (3) "Obligor"
has the same meaning as in rule 5101:12-10-30 of the Administrative Code.
(4) "Payor" has
the same meaning as in rule 5101:12-50-10 of the Administrative Code.
(C) In accordance with division (A)(11)
of section 3121.037 of the Revised Code, a payor is required to do all of the
following: (1) Notify the CSEA of
any lump sum payment of any kind of one hundred fifty dollars or more that is
to be made to an obligor for whom the payor has received an income withholding
notice regarding the obligor. The payor must notify the CSEA of the lump sum
payment: (a) No later than forty-five days before the lump sum payment is
to be made; or (b) On the date that the payor determines the lump sum payment is
due the obligor when that date is less than forty-five days before the payment
is to be made. (2) Hold the lump sum
payment for thirty days after the date on which the lump sum payment would
otherwise have been paid to the obligor. (3) Upon receipt of an
order from the court or CSEA that issued the support order, pay all or a
specified amount of the lump sum payment to the child support payment central
(CSPC) within the office of child support. (a) If the lump sum payment is earnings as defined in section
302(a) of the "Consumer Credit Protection Act," (CCPA), 15 U.S.C.
1672(a)(5/1968), the sum of the amount to be withheld and any fee withheld by
the payor as a charge for its services may not exceed the maximum amounts
permitted under section 303(b) of the CCPA, 15 U.S.C.
1673(b)(11/1978). (b) If the lump sum payment is other than earnings, the amount to
be withheld is not subject to these limits. (D) The CSEA shall, upon notification by
a payor that a lump sum payment of one hundred fifty dollars or more is to be
made to the obligor, determine whether the obligor has any arrears or is in
default under the support order. When an obligor had no existing arrears before
the issuance of an income withholding or deduction notice and collections are
received as a result of the income withholding or deduction notice in the
amount required, the CSEA shall not consider the obligor as having arrears for
the purpose of lump sum attachment when periodic temporary arrears are created
due to a discrepancy between the payment schedule and the monthly
obligation. (1) When the CSEA
determines that the obligor is not in default or has no arrears, the CSEA shall
issue the JFS 07726, "Administrative Order for Release or Transmittal of
Lump Sum Payment" (effective or revised effective date as identified in
rule 5101:12-50-99 of the Administrative Code) or JFS 07727,
"Administrative Order For Release Of Lump Sum Payment" (effective or
revised effective date as identified in rule 5101:12-50-99 of the
Administrative Code) requiring the immediate release of the full amount of the
lump sum payment to the obligor. (2) When the CSEA
determines that the obligor has arrears or is in default, the CSEA shall issue
the JFS 07726 to the payor and issue a copy of the JFS 07726 to the obligor.
The CSEA shall require the payor to transmit the least of: (a) The total arrears; (b) The amounts allowed by section 303(b) of the CCPA, 15
U.S.C. 1673(b), if applicable; or (c) The amounts allowed by applicable state or tribal
law. (E) Should the CSEA receive a notice from
a payor that a lump sum payment of less than one hundred fifty dollars is to be
paid to an obligor who is subject to a court or administrative child support
order, the CSEA may take action pursuant to paragraph (D) of this
rule. The CSEA shall document in its handbook of
internal procedures when the CSEA will use the optional enforcement technique
pertaining to lump sum payments of less than one hundred fifty dollars. (F) In accordance with section 3121.0311
of the Revised Code, for workers' compensation claims pending or filed on
or after June 30, 2006, the administrator of the bureau of workers'
compensation or a self-insuring employer is responsible for the deduction of
attorney's fees and necessary expenses before notifying the CSEA of the
lump sum. The administrator of the bureau or self-insuring
employer is not required to notify the CSEA of the lump sum when, following the
deduction of attorney's fees and necessary expenses, the balance is less
than one hundred fifty dollars.

Effective:
March 28, 2019
(A) The child support enforcement agency
(CSEA) with administrative responsibility may request that the court issue an
order requiring an obligor under a court support order to seek employment or
engage in work activities under the Ohio works first (OWF) program when the
CSEA determines that the obligor under a court support order is unemployed, has
no income, and does not have an account at any financial
institution. (B) When the obligor under an
administrative child support order is unemployed but able to engage in
employment and has no income and no account at any financial institution, the
CSEA with administrative responsibility shall issue an administrative order for
the obligor to seek employment or engage in work activities under the OWF
program. The CSEA shall: (1) Include in the
administrative seek work order a requirement that the obligor notify the CSEA
immediately upon obtaining employment, any income, or ownership of any asset
with a value of over five hundred dollars. (2) Issue the
administrative seek work order whether or not the obligor is a recipient of OWF
benefits. When the obligor is a recipient of OWF benefits
and has signed a self-sufficiency contract pursuant to section 5107.14 of the
Revised Code, the administrative seek work order shall contain the same work
activity requirements as the signed self-sufficiency contract. (3) Request that the
court issue an order in accordance with paragraph (A) of this rule when an
obligor fails to comply with an administrative seek work order. (C) When the court or the CSEA issues a
seek work order to the obligor, the court or CSEA shall include in the order
the requirement that the obligor register with "OhioMeansJobs"
pursuant to section 3121.03 of the Revised Code. (D) When the court or CSEA has issued a
minimum child support obligation in accordance with section 3119.06 of the

the amount of support due under a support order while the obligor is receiving
means-tested public assistance, as described in division (C)(12)(a) of section
3119.01 of the Revised Code, and is complying with any seek work orders issued
pursuant to section 3121.03 of the Revised Code.

previously issued a cash bond and the CSEA determines that any JFS 04047 or JFS
04017 is no longer appropriate due to a change in the obligor's source of
income or status of accounts, the CSEA shall immediately take action to cancel
or have cancelled any previously issued JFS 04047 or JFS 04017. The CSEA shall
send written notice of the cancellation by regular mail to the person who was
required to comply with the JFS 04047, JFS 04017, or order.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.1 | Submission criteria.
Effective:
September 1, 2011
(A) This rule describes the criteria used to submit an obligor in a IV-D case for federal income tax refund offset using the Ohio tax offset file. Every obligor in a IV-D case who meets the submission criteria shall be submitted for federal income tax refund offset. The consent of an obligee is not necessary prior to submission. The obligee may not choose whether an obligor is submitted for federal income tax refund offset as long as the case remains a IV-D case. (B) When the obligor has more than one order with assigned arrears, the obligor's assigned arrears are aggregated to determine whether the obligor meets the assigned arrears submission threshold. When the obligor has more than one order with unassigned arrears, the obligor's unassigned arrears are aggregated to determine whether the obligor meets the unassigned arrears submission threshold. The assigned arrears and unassigned arrears are listed separately on the tax offset file. (C) An obligor shall be submitted when the following criteria are met: (1) The obligor's case is a IV-D case; (2) The obligor's arrears are for: (a) Child support; (b) Spousal support, if it is included as part of child support order; or (c) Medical support, if a specific dollar amount of medical support is included in the order. (3) The obligor's arrears are: (a) Assigned arrears as described in rule 5101:12-80-10 of the Administrative Code and: (i) The arrears are equal to or greater than one hundred fifty dollars; (ii) The arrears have been delinquent for thirty days or more; and (iii) The arrears may be submitted regardless of the age of the child. (b) Unassigned arrears as described in rule 5101:12-80-10 of the Administrative Code and: (i) The arrears are equal to or greater than five hundred dollars; (ii) The arrears have been delinquent for thirty days or more; and (iii) The arrears may be submitted regardless of the age of the child. (D) Ohio will submit an obligor in an intergovernmental case for federal income tax refund offset when Ohio is the state that initiated the intergovernmental case. (E) Ohio will submit an obligor who has filed for bankruptcy protection on or after October 17, 2005. An obligor who filed for bankruptcy protection prior to that date will not be submitted unless the bankruptcy has been discharged or other relief from bankruptcy protection has been secured by the child support enforcement agency.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.2 | The federal match process and pre-offset notice.
Effective:
January 1, 2016
(A) An obligor who meets the submission criteria described in rule 5101:12-50-32.1 of the Administrative Code will be submitted to the federal office of child support enforcement (OCSE) by the office of child support within the Ohio department of job and family services in a tax offset file on a weekly basis. This rule describes the process that occurs after the Ohio tax offset file is transmitted to OCSE. (B) Upon receipt of the Ohio tax offset file, OCSE transmits the file to the federal bureau of fiscal service (BFS). BFS maintains a master database which contains information on taxpayers who owe debts to various governmental agencies, including the Ohio tax offset file. BFS, the social security administration (SSA), and the internal revenue service (IRS) then take the following steps: (1) Information contained in the master database is matched against data maintained by the IRS and SSA in order to verify the name, address, and social security number (SSN) of each obligor submitted; (2) IRS and SSA notify BFS of the name, address, and SSN information that has been verified; (3) BFS compares data received from IRS and SSA against the information for each obligor submitted to OCSE in the Ohio tax offset file; and (4) BFS transmits the verified data to OCSE for the purpose of generating the pre-offset notice described in paragraph (C) of this rule. (C) OCSE sends a pre-offset notice to each obligor whose name, address, and SSN was verified. The pre-offset notice is issued by the OCSE when: (1) An obligor has not previously been submitted for the federal tax offset program and the obligor has not previously received a pre-offset notice; (2) An obligor was previously submitted but was deleted from the Ohio tax offset file because the debt was satisfied but subsequent arrears have accrued. In this case, the obligor may have previously received a pre-offset notice but the arrears were subsequently reduced to zero before beginning to accrue again. A second pre-offset notice will be issued if the previous notice was issued more than three hundred sixty-five days prior to the date of re-submission; or (3) An obligor is added to the Ohio tax offset file. (D) The qualifying submittal is held by OCSE for a minimum of thirty days before it is submitted to BFS in order to allow the pre-offset notice to be sent. No succeeding pre-offset notices are sent. (E) The pre-offset notice advises the obligor of the following: (1) The obligor's right to file a request for an administrative review for the purpose of contesting the arrears; (2) The obligor's right to request an administrative review in either the submitting state or the state where the support order was issued; (3) The procedures and time frames for requesting the administrative review; and (4) That BFS will notify the injured spouse of the steps required to protect the share of the tax refund which may be payable to the injured spouse.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.3 | Adding, updating, and deleting obligors from the Ohio tax offset file.
(A) This rule describes the process for adding, updating, and deleting obligor information. (B) An Ohio tax offset file is submitted each week to the federal office of child support enforcement (OCSE). The Ohio tax offset file: (1) Includes the name and social security number of any obligor who met the federal income tax refund offset submission criteria during the past week and was not previously submitted or, if previously submitted, had been deleted; (2) Updates information regarding previously submitted obligors; and (3) Deletes obligors who are no longer eligible. (C) An obligor who becomes eligible for federal tax offset is automatically added to the Ohio tax offset file when the submission criteria described in rule 5101:12-50-32.1 of the Administrative Code are met. An obligor who had previously been submitted and subsequently deleted from the Ohio tax offset file shall be resubmitted when: (1) Collections reduce the arrears below the submission threshold and new qualifying arrears subsequently accrue; (2) An update to obligor information results in the arrears being reduced below the submission threshold and new qualifying arrears subsequently accrue; or (3) The arrears were previously submitted, then deleted as described in paragraph (E) of this rule, and are now being resubmitted. (D) The Ohio tax offset file includes updated information for an existing submission when: (1) There is any change in the amount of the arrears; (2) The arrears are modified to zero or to an amount that is below the submission threshold; (3) The child support enforcement agency (CSEA) changes the indicator that excludes the submitted obligor from other federal offset programs such as passport denial; (4) The submission indicator in the Ohio tax offset file changes from assigned to unassigned status or vice versa; or (5) For any other transaction listed in paragraph (F) of this rule. (E) A submission is deleted from the Ohio tax offset file when: (1) The arrears amount is paid below the submission threshold; (2) The CSEA modifies the arrears to an amount that is below the submission threshold; (3) The CSEA completes an administrative review that results in the reduction of arrears below the submission threshold; or (4) A supervisor within the CSEA has approved the deletion of the submission from the Ohio tax offset file. (F) The support enforcement tracking system transmits the following transaction indicators to OCSE: (1) "A" adds a new submission; (2) "B" changes the name of the obligor; (3) "D" deletes an existing submission; (4) "L" changes the local state code for the submitting state; (5) "M" modifies the arrears, which results in an increase or decrease in the amount of arrears; (6) "R" replaces the current "yes" indicator with a "no" indicator, or a "no" indicator with a "yes" indicator, for offset submission or passport denial submission; (7) "S" indicates the accumulated state payment amount; (8) "T" indicates an order has been transferred to the state that issued the order for administrative tax offset review; (9) "Y" resubmits an obligor and includes the obligor's address when the submission was previously been rejected because OCSE could not locate an address for the obligor; and (10) "Z" updates the obligor's address. (G) OCSE processes the transactions in the order indicated in paragraph (F) of this rule. (H) OCSE will use an updated address submitted through a "Y" or "Z" indicator to issue any future pre-offset or offset notices. (1) When an obligor's submission has been rejected by OCSE because OCSE could not locate the obligor's address and the CSEA subsequently obtains a valid obligor address, the CSEA shall use the "Y" indicator to resubmit the obligor and provide the obligor's address. (2) When the CSEA obtains a new valid address for the obligor and chooses to submit the changed address to OCSE, the CSEA shall use the "Z" indicator to submit the new address. Once the CSEA has used a "Y" or "Z" indicator, the CSEA shall submit all future address changes using the appropriate "Y" or "Z" indicator.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.4 | Rejected submissions.
Effective:
September 1, 2011
(A) For purposes of this rule, "rejected submission" means a rejection by the federal office of child support enforcement (OCSE) of the submission of an obligor for federal income tax refund offset that is included as an addition, deletion, or update in the Ohio tax offset file. (B) OCSE may reject a submission for any reason including, but not limited to, the following: (1) An invalid social security number; (2) The submission already exists on the OCSE tax offset file; (3) The submission is a duplicate submission; (4) The state payment amount is invalid; (5) OCSE cannot locate the record that the submission is intended to modify; (6) The last name of the obligor submitted does not match the last name for that obligor in the OCSE tax offset file; (7) The state payment submission was received but OCSE cannot locate an offset payment for the offset year in question; (8) The submission had previously been deleted; (9) The last name and the social security number (SSN) in the submission do not match; or (10) An SSN is submitted and OCSE provides a different SSN. (C) Rejected submissions appear on two reports. (1) The first report contains two types of rejected submissions. (a) The first type of rejection on the report contains submissions that are rejected by OCSE due to the inability of OCSE to verify an obligor's address for the purpose of issuing a pre-offset notice; and (b) The second type of rejection on the report contains submissions for which the office of child support within the Ohio department of job and family services has included an SSN for an obligor that OCSE has been unable to verify using the process described in rule 5101:12-50-32.2 of the Administrative Code. The report contains different SSNs than the SSN that was submitted by OCS. The different SSNs have been obtained from the social security administration by OCSE. (2) The second report lists submissions resulting from additions, deletions, or updates to the Ohio tax offset list that were rejected by OCSE for any reason not included in the first report. (D) A child support enforcement agency (CSEA) shall review the reports and take the appropriate action necessary to resolve the issue that resulted in the rejection of the submission. The inability of a CSEA to resolve a rejection may have a negative impact on incentives received by the CSEA and may result in: (1) The CSEA failing to receive the offset; (2) The CSEA failing to receive the full amount of the offset; or (3) The CSEA receiving an invalid offset.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.6 | The federal income tax refund offset process.
(A) An obligor is subject to federal income tax refund offset
when the following conditions have been met: (1) The federal income tax refund offset
submission criteria have been met; (2) The federal office of child support
enforcement (OCSE) has certified that the obligor is eligible for federal
income tax refund offset; and (3) The internal revenue service has
notified the bureau of fiscal service (BFS) that the obligor will receive a
federal income tax refund. (B) BFS will satisfy submitted debts in the following
priority: (1) Federal tax debts; (2) Assigned and unassigned child support
debts; (3) Other federal debts; and (4) State tax debts. (C) The federal income tax refund offset process. (1) BFS sends an offset notice to the
obligor after FMS has processed the offset but before the office of child
support (OCS) within the Ohio department of job and family services has been
notified of the offset. BFS will also send a notice to a joint federal taxpayer
who filed taxes jointly with the obligor, advising the joint federal taxpayer
of the steps required to protect the share of the tax refund that may be
payable to the joint federal taxpayer. (2) When the obligor cannot be located,
the federal tax refund offset will be reversed by BFS. (3) BFS notifies OCSE on a weekly basis
of offsets and adjustments that occur. (4) OCSE issues to OCS the reports that
include obligors for whom offsets and adjustments have occurred and the amounts
of those offsets and adjustments. These reports are described in paragraph
(C)(1) of rule 5101:12-50-32.8 of the Administrative Code. (5) BFS sends the offset amounts to the
Ohio office of the treasurer. (6) The Ohio office of the treasurer
notifies the office of fiscal and monitoring services (OFMS) within the Ohio
department of job and family services of receipt of the offset
amounts. (7) OFMS then transfers the offset
amounts, together with the amount of any fees and adjustments to cover one
hundred per cent of the offset amount, to the Ohio child support payment
central (CSPC) for disbursement. (8) CSPC processes the offset amount
received to the appropriate order in the support enforcement tracking system
(SETS). (D) Offset amounts shall be considered collections in the month
in which they are received and applied to any arrears of the obligor that met
the offset criteria. (E) When a state has CSENet collection (COL) transaction
capability with Ohio, the COL P CITAX transaction will be automatically sent to
the state by SETS whenever an offset collection is received. (F) If the state does not have CSENet COL transaction capability
with Ohio, or the child support enforcement agency (CSEA) determines that the
transaction was not sent, the CSEA shall send the OMB 0970-0085,
"Transmittal #3 - Request for Assistance/Discovery," to any other
state that is involved in the enforcement of the intergovernmental case no
later than three business days from the receipt of an offset amount in an
intergovernmental case. The OMB 0970-0085 notifies the other state of the
receipt of the offset amount.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.8 | Federal income tax refund offset reports.
(A) The office of child support (OCS) within the Ohio department
of job and family services shall provide to the child support enforcement
agency (CSEA) federal income tax refund offset reports. These reports contain
information about federal income tax refund offset collections, federal
adjustments, federal offset fees, federal filing status, and other identifying
information. (B) The CSEA shall review the federal income tax refund offset
reports to identify any case for which it has administrative responsibility and
take appropriate action as required in this rule. (C) There are three categories of federal income tax refund
offset reports that provide information to or require action by the
CSEA: (1) Two information-only reports are
created upon receipt of a tax offset file from the federal office of child
support enforcement (OCSE). One report contains a list of all federal income
tax refund offset collections and adjustments that may be automatically
processed by the support enforcement tracking system (SETS) when there are no
changes to the case in SETS that would prevent such automatic processing. The
second report contains a list of all federal income tax refund offset
collections and adjustments that cannot be automatically processed by SETS. The
CSEA shall review the reports to determine whether any action must be taken to
ensure the collections are processed appropriately. (2) Two collection and adjustment reports
are created upon completion of the federal income tax refund offset process
described in rule 5101:12-50-32.6 of the Administrative Code. One report
contains a list of all collections and adjustments received from federal income
tax refund offsets that were automatically processed by SETS. The second report
contains a list of adjustments received from federal income tax refund offsets
that could not be automatically processed by SETS. When an adjustment appears on either report,
the CSEA may need to collect any disbursed funds as described in rule
5101:12-50-32.9 of the Administrative Code. (3) An exclusion report is created by
child support payment central (CSPC) within OCS upon receipt of the federal tax
offset file from OCSE that contains a list of all offsets that could not be
automatically processed by SETS. The CSEA shall work with the payment analysis
and account reconciliation (PAAR) bureau within OCS to identify the collections
that appear on this report so that they may be processed in SETS.

Rule 5101:12-50-32.9 | Federal adjustments, state payments, and recovery of disbursed federal tax offset collections.
(A) This rule describes the federal tax
offset adjustment process. There are certain circumstances, including invalid
offsets, that require a federal income tax refund offset to be returned to the
taxpayer (who may or may not be the obligor). This is accomplished either
through a federal adjustment or a state payment. (B) A federal adjustment may occur as a
result of a number of circumstances, which include but are not limited to
when: (1) An injured spouse
claim is filed with the internal revenue service (IRS) and the injured spouse
is entitled to a portion or all of the federal tax refund; (2) The obligor files an
amended federal income tax return and the amount available for offset is
reduced; or (3) The obligor files a
federal income tax return using an incorrect social security
number. (C) The child support enforcement agency
(CSEA) shall be required to issue a state payment to the taxpayer
when: (1) The CSEA receives a
federal tax refund offset in an amount greater than the arrears amount that was
last accepted by the federal office of child support enforcement; (2) An obligor was
submitted but did not meet the federal tax offset submission
criteria; (3) An obligor was
submitted with an incorrect arrears amount; (4) An obligor was
submitted using an incorrect social security number; (5) An income tax refund
offset review was conducted that resulted in a decrease in the arrears amount
and the offset occurred before the update was processed; or (6) The obligor paid the
arrears below the threshold after the tax offset occurred but prior to
disbursement of the tax offset amount. (D) The federal adjustment
process. (1) When there is a
federal tax offset adjustment, the tax offset collection is returned to the
obligor and the bureau of fiscal services (BFS) reduces the amount of the tax
offset that was previously disbursed to the state. (2) Injured spouse
claims. (a) When the IRS determines that an injured spouse is entitled to
a portion or all of the federal tax refund, the IRS sends the refund directly
to the injured spouse. When a refund is sent to an injured spouse via
electronic funds transfer to a closed account, the amount due the injured
spouse will be reversed by BFS. (b) The CSEA may delay distribution of the federal tax offset
collection received as the result of a joint return until it is notified by the
IRS that the injured spouse has received the proper share of the refund, or for
six months, whichever is earlier. (E) The state payment
process. (1) When a CSEA issues a
state payment to an obligor, it shall report the state payment to the office of
child support (OCS) within the Ohio department of job and family services
(ODJFS) immediately but no later than five days from the date the payment is
made using the JFS 07017 "Update of IRS Tax Refund Offset Submittal"
(effective or revised effective date as identified in rule 5101:12-50-99 of the
Administrative Code). (2) When the CSEA issues
a state payment to an obligor and submits a JFS 07017 for that state payment,
and then an additional state payment is made to that obligor for the same
processing year, the CSEA shall submit a second JFS 07017 and report the total
year-to-date amount for the processing year on the second JFS
07017. (3) The CSEA shall
include the processing year in the report of a state payment. (F) Recovery of disbursed federal tax
offset collection. (1) When a federal
adjustment is made on a collection that has been disbursed to assigned arrears,
the disbursed collection shall be recovered from ODJFS. (2) When a federal
adjustment is made on a collection that has been disbursed to the obligee or an
alternate payee, the CSEA shall recover the disbursed collection using one or
both of the following options: (a) The CSEA may recover the collection from the obligee or the
alternate payee through the recoupment process described in rule
5101:12-80-05.6 of the Administrative Code. (b) The CSEA may recover a collection disbursed to the obligee or
alternate payee from the obligor by establishing an account for the case within
the support enforcement tracking system (SETS) payable to the CSEA to recover
the amount. When the CSEA establishes the account, the following shall
apply: (i) The CSEA shall use
the "OTHER FEES NO PMT/ IRS ADJ REIMB" account in SETS where
collections will allocate below all other support obligations in the allocation
hierarchy. The account shall include any subsequent adjustment for which the
CSEA uses this method of recovery; (ii) The balance of the
account shall not increase the total arrears owed by the obligor;
and (iii) The balance added
to the account shall not exceed the amount expended by the CSEA and disbursed
to the obligee or the alternate payee as support. When the CSEA chooses to use the option
described in paragraph (F)(2)(b) of this rule but doing so would increase the
total arrears owed by the obligor on the case, the CSEA must instead use a
combination of the options described in paragraphs (F)(2)(a) and (F)(2)(b) of
this rule, or in the alternative must use the option described in paragraph
(F)(2)(a) of this rule exclusively. The total combined amount of the balances
created as a result of using the options described in paragraphs (F)(2)(a) and
(F)(2)(b) of this rule shall not exceed the amount disbursed to the obligee or
alternate payee. The CSEA shall be responsible to track any
account or accounts established pursuant to paragraph (F)(2) of this rule to
ensure recovery of funds that have been disbursed to the obligee or alternate
payee. (3) When a CSEA has
issued a state payment to a taxpayer in accordance with paragraph (C) of this
rule but a federal adjustment subsequently occurs against the original tax
offset collection that led to the state payment, the CSEA shall recover the
state payment through the recoupment process described in rule 5101:12-80-05.6
of the Administrative Code.

has a claim against another person or is a party in a pending judicial action,
the CSEA shall immediately file either a motion to intervene or a
creditor's bill with the court in which the action is pending. (C) Discretionary judicial enforcement

taking any additional judicial enforcement actions that may be appropriate, but
are not listed in this rule. (1) In accordance with
the provisions of section 2705.031 of the Revised Code, the CSEA may file a
contempt action against an obligor for failure to pay support. (2) In accordance with

from administration or an executor or administrator is appointed during that
six-month period. (3) In accordance with
section 3123.182 of the Revised Code, a CSEA may file an action for execution
on a certified pay-off statement issued by a CSEA. (4) In accordance with
sections 1336.01 to 1336.11 of the Revised Code, the CSEA may bring an action,
subject to the limitations in section 1336.08 of the Revised Code, to obtain
any relief the circumstances require against an obligor who makes a fraudulent
transfer of assets or enters into a fraudulent obligation to avoid paying under
the support order. Relief may include invalidation of the transfer or
obligation to the extent necessary to satisfy the arrearage. (5) In accordance with
the provisions of rule 65(A) of the Rules of Civil Procedure (7/1/1970)
(www.supremecourt.ohio.gov), the CSEA may file a request for a temporary
restraining order with the court in which an action described in division
5101:12 of the Administrative Code has been filed if it appears to the CSEA
that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage will result before the
action can be heard. (6) In accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 2329. of the Revised Code, the CSEA may file an
action for execution against property owned by an obligor. (7) The CSEA may take
action against a payor who fails to comply with the requirements of an income
withholding or deduction notice as described in sections 3121.371 and 3121.381
of the Revised Code. (8) The CSEA may file an
action requesting a court to join the CSEA as a party to an action to enforce a
support order. (9) The CSEA may refer a
case to the county prosecutor for possible criminal non-support action under

sections 3123.14 and 3123.15 of the Revised Code, when the child support order
is terminated for any reason, the obligor is or was in default at any time
under the support order, and the obligor owes arrears after the termination of
the order, the obligee may submit an application to the CSEA to obtain relief.
The CSEA shall commence the appropriate administrative or judicial action
within twenty days after completion of such application. (D) When filing a contempt action in
accordance with paragraph (C)(1) of this rule, the CSEA will: (1) Review the case for
information regarding the obligor's ability to pay, or otherwise comply
with the order. The review should include, but is not limited to research
regarding: (a) Whether a final and enforceable determination of default has
been made against the obligor, as described in rules 5101:12-55-03 to
5101:12-55-03.4 of the Administrative Code; (b) Whether there is a pending personal bankruptcy action for the
obligor; (c) Whether the obligor has received or is receiving income from
a protected benefit, as described in rule 5101:12-50-10 of the Administrative
Code, including research in the support enforcement tracking system (SETS) and

(SVES/DMDC); (d) Whether the obligor had received or is receiving income
subject to a withholding or deduction as described in rule 5101:12-50-10.1 of
the Administrative Code; and (e) Any other information that would assist in the determination
of the obligor's ability to pay or otherwise comply with the
order. (2) Determine after the
review of the case information, if a contempt action is appropriate, and ensure
that: (a) The court is provided with such information regarding the
obligor's ability to pay, or otherwise comply with the order, which may
assist the court in making a factual determination regarding the obligor's
ability to pay the purge amount or comply with the purge conditions;

ability to pay constitutes the critical question in the civil contempt
action.

an obligor who has been charged with criminal non-support in accordance with
section 2919.21 of the Revised Code. This rule also describes the steps that a

this state has the authority to require a prosecutor of this state to
demonstrate that, at least sixty days previously, a petition for support was
initiated pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008),
as defined in rule 5101:12-70-05 of the Administrative Code, or that such a
petition would not be effective in enforcing the support order. When requested
by the prosecutor, the CSEA shall prepare and submit a report to the prosecutor
regarding the extradition of the obligor that contains either: (a) A copy of a UIFSA petition filed at least sixty days prior to
consulting with the prosecutor; or (b) A statement from the CSEA establishing that a UIFSA petition
would not be effective in the case where extradition is being
requested. (D) Surrender of an obligor found in Ohio
to another state for extradition. (1) In accordance with
sections 3115.801 and 3115.802 of the Revised Code, the governor of this state
has the authority, upon the demand of the governor in another state to
surrender for extradition an obligor who is found in this state and who is
criminally charged in the other state with having failed to pay support under a
support order. (2) Before surrendering
an obligor for extradition to the governor of another state, the governor of
this state has the authority to require a prosecutor of this state to
investigate the demand and report whether a UIFSA petition has been initiated
or that such petition would not be effective in enforcing the support order.
When requested by the prosecutor, the CSEA shall immediately conduct an
investigation of the case and prepare a report that contains
either: (a) A copy of a UIFSA petition filed at least sixty days prior to
receipt of the demand; or (b) A statement from the CSEA establishing that a UIFSA petition
would not be effective in the case where extradition is being
requested. (E) After the governor receives the
report described in paragraph (D)(2) of this rule, the governor has the
authority to take one of the following actions: (1) Submit the obligor to
the other state for extradition; (2) Delay honoring the
demand for a reasonable time to permit initiation of a UIFSA petition;
or (3) Decline to honor the
demand if a UIFSA petition is initiated and the obligor either prevails in the
support action or is complying with the support order.
