Section 160.71  Credit for
Payments Made Directly to the Title IV-D Client
Where the operative court or
administrative order for support requires child support payments to be made to
the Department, the State Disbursement Unit, or the Clerk of the Circuit Court,
the Department will allow a one time credit to its child support accounts
receivable for payments made directly to the Title IV-D client, up to the
amount of the past due support owed to the Title IV-D client, when:
a)         a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order requiring
credit; or
b)         the following circumstances exist:
1)         either:
A)        the order for support was entered in Illinois; or
B)        if the order for support is a foreign order:
i)          the order has been registered in Illinois; and
ii)         the law of the state that entered the order allows credit for
payments made directly to the Title IV-D client; and
2)         a balance of support is owed to the Title IV-D client; and
3)         there has been no other instance, after the effective date of
this Section, in which the Department credited its child support accounts
receivable for payments made by the responsible relative directly to the Title
IV-D client; and
4)         either:
A)        the Title IV-D client signs a statement specifying the payments
that the client is requesting be credited to the accounts receivable; or
B)        the responsible relative provides the Department with clear and
convincing documentation (such as copies of canceled checks or money order
receipts) showing that the payments for which the relative is requesting credit
were made and the Department has given the Title IV-D client opportunity to
acknowledge or deny receipt of the payments.
