				record review within 10 business days of the date of the notice of lien. The
				request shall be made in writing to the child support agency. The purpose of
				the financial record review is to determine the correctness of the financial
				records in a case. The financial record review shall cover only the period of
				time after the last judicial review or other account review.
Note: The procedure for a financial records and court order
				  review is specified in s.
				  49.854(3)(ag),
				  Stats.

				request for a financial record review, the child support agency shall provide
				the payer with the relevant financial records and any other financial records
				requested in writing by the payer. Financial records include the account
				history report and any county child support account records from the period
				prior to the implementation of the statewide automated child support
				enforcement system. The child support agency shall also provide the payer with
				information explaining how to interpret the records and a form the payer may
				use to identify any alleged errors in the records.
Note: Under s.
				  49.854(3)
				  (ag), Stats., the department shall conduct
				  the financial records and court order review at no charge to the payer.

				  the statewide automated child support enforcement system. The report includes a
				  payment history which lists the date payments were received, the source of

				  payment was applied, and any adjustments made to the payment. The report also
				  includes the court order obligations in a case as well as a list of debts owed
				  in a case and the current balance of each debt.

				relevant financial records, the payer may request a meeting with the child
				support agency to review the financial records and to discuss any alleged
				errors. If the payer requests a meeting, the payer shall use the form provided
				by the child support agency in sub. (2). After reviewing the financial records
				and any alleged error, the child support agency shall issue a determination as
				to whether the lien against the payer is in the correct amount.

				alleged error on the document provided by the department or child support
				agency in sub. (2) within 20 days after receiving the financial records and

				correct and provide a written determination as to whether the lien against the
				payer is in the correct amount.
