When Not to Submit a Finance Action Request

Do not submit a Finance Action Request (FAR) for the following scenarios:

  • Obligation adjustment request with same custodial person (CP), “like” case type, different obligations
  • Adjustment request is for Undistributed (UNDL)/Pended (PNDL) receipts (use online UNDL/PNDL processes)
  • Allocation issues (unless the receipt was retained)
  • Request for Cash Medical or Retained Support overpayments (OPR) (build OPR via OVPA)
  • Parties in the same household (will not send money into the same household twice):
    • CP and non-custodial parent (NCP) in same household, or
    • Two CPs in the same household
  • Overpayment occurred due the party’s failure to notify Child Support Services (CSS) of:
    • Custody changes
    • New orders
    • Private modifications
    • Custody orders
  • Overpayment occurred during Non IV-D time period
  • Overpayment occurred prior to CSS collecting (direct payments)
  • IV-A gave CP credit for current support (EBHL)
  • Payments issued under order that was later modified or vacated
  • CSS was collecting under a court order and the child was adopted
  • Non IV-D payment received prior to receiving Summary of Support Order (SOSO) and applied to NCP’s IV-D case
  • Rolling payments forward to following month when balances due
