When this office receives notification from the Department of Social Services that your AFDC grant has been discontinued, we will process adjustments to reflect a non-welfare collection status of your child support. You will be notified by mail that this office will continue to collect until otherwise notified by you in writing. You will be entitled to non-welfare child support collected from the date of discontinuance forward. What is a disregard. There is only one disregard paid to any individual custodial parent, regardless of number of cases or children.
Current policy is that disregards are processed and paid out as received.
Once all of the paperwork is returned, the modification of the child support order will take approximately 90 to 180 days to be completed, subject to Court discretion. Any change will be effective the first day of the month following the date our request for review is filed with the Court. The option of filing your own Motion with the courts is available to you at all times. Written proof of custody is required. Any percentage reductions are done by mail and will become effective within 4 to 6 weeks.
