PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed amendments to these rule sections regarding administration of the Child Support Program is to incorporate the provisions of Chapter 2021-103, L.O.F., which allow notices to the obligor relating to consumer reports to be made by regular mail, updates the process for rendering final orders, and allows financial institutions to elect to participate in the Federally Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) data exchange to receive secure levy notifications and data electronically. In addition, this rulemaking is necessary to adopt updates to forms used by the Program.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments to these rule sections allow notices to the obligor relating to consumer reports to be made by regular mail and updates the process for rendering final orders by removing the requirement for the order to be filed with the Department of Revenue’s clerk or deputy clerk. The proposed amendments provide procedures to allow financial institutions to elect to participate in the Federally Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) data exchange to receive secure levy notifications and data electronically. In addition, forms used by the Child Support Program are updated to provide a notice may be issued to recipients of public assistance from the State of Florida that have not returned required documents to the Department and provide for online scheduling of appointments to submit samples for required genetic testing to establish paternity and child support obligations.
