Overview

RULE:

12E-1.032

Electronic Remittance of Support Payments

PURPOSE:

The creation of proposed Rule 12E-1.032, F.A.C., provides instruction and guidance to employers regarding the electronic remittance of support payments and electronic submission of associated case data to the State Disbursement Unit. The effect of this proposed rule is to develop procedures to use in the administration of Section 61.1824(6), F.S. These procedures will reduce data entry errors and misapplied payments as well as reduce the amount of time to process the payments, resulting in families receiving their support quicker.

SUMMARY:

This proposed new rule provides instruction and guidance to employers on how to electronically remit support payments deducted pursuant to an income deduction order or income deduction notice and how to electronically submit associated case data to the State Disbursement Unit.  The proposed rule provides acceptable methods of transferring funds and associated case data by electronic means, explains the process to resolve electronic remittance or transmission problems, identifies associated case data fields that must be remitted with each support payment, and provides that waivers granted to employers under s. 213.755, or s. 443.163, F.S., constitutes a waiver from the electronic support filing requirements.
The proposed rule also incorporates the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA), User Guide For Electronic Child Support Payments, Using The Child Support Application Banking Convention, Version 5.0, revised August 21, 2006.  NACHA is the national trade association for electronic payments associations, which establishes the rules, industry standards, and procedures governing the exchange of commercial automated clearing house payments by depository financial institutions.
