When a retained support overpayment is determined, the obligation is built at the district office level. The following steps are taken prior to building the retained support obligation in OSIS.
- Verify the case types and dates are correct on the CHU for each child. If incorrect, it will affect how receipts are applied.
- Complete an arrearage computation (A/C) without the direct payments to ensure system balances are correct.
- Update the A/C by adding direct payments as private payments on the adjustment tab (including private interest). This shows the amount to apply to C balances.
- Add the direct payments to CFPA, in the following order (includes judgment balances):
- P, M, X
- D
- C,Z
- Update the A/C by deleting direct payments on the adjustments tab and copying them from CFPL.
- Verify the balances are correct based on the A/C.
- Build the overpayment in OSIS using the overpayment (OPR) functionality. See the CSQuest article “Building a Retained Support Overpayment.”
