If the family is currently receiving assistance from the Tribal TANF program and has assigned support rights to the Tribe and:
There is no request for assistance in collecting support on behalf of the family from a State or Tribal IV-D agency under§ 309.120 of this part, the Tribal IV-D agency may retain collections on behalf of the family, not to exceed the total amount of Tribal TANF paid to the family. Any remaining collections must be paid to the family.
There is a request for assistance in collecting support on behalf of the family from a State or Tribal IV-D agency under§ 9.120 of this part, the Tribal IV-D agency may retain collections, not to exceed the total amount of Tribal TANF paid to the family.
