Current spousal support is assigned to the State when the custodial person (CP) certifies for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) (remember, spousal support arrearages no longer assign effective October 1, 2009). Spousal support is not assigned to the State if the children are placed in foster care (both IV-E and Non IV-E).
When the children are no longer in the CP’s home (e.g. with a new CP, the non-custodial parent (NCP), in foster care) spousal support will not be enforced or collected. Spousal balances, both current and past due will be manually removed, except for spousal balances assigned to the State (C).
If the children return to the CP’s home, spousal support is added back to OSIS when an affidavit is returned that addresses spousal support balances (as long as the children are not emancipated).
When the children emancipate, spousal support will not be enforced or collected. Spousal balances, both current and past due will be manually removed, except for spousal balances assigned to the State (C) see Policy 340:25-5-200(g).
