Who Gets Paid First When Paying Down Child Support Arrears?
If payments are being made slowly to pay down interest + principal to two sources, who gets paid first? Example: * One component of the arrears is $2000 principal with $2000 interest for the REIMBURSEMENT OF WELFARE FUNDS collected by the custodial parent. * Another component of the arrears is $16,000 principal with $4000 interest for the SUPPORT OF THE CUSTODIAL PARENT (okay, child). Payments start out at $300/month (the amount beyond current support available to pay down arrears). Which amount gets deducted FIRST (i.e., who gets paid first?). One thing I can guess: first payments apply ONLY to interest, which when paid down, starts applying to principal. The laws of the state of California apply here. Grazi |

One thing I can guess: first payments apply ONLY to interest, which when paid down, starts applying to principal. The laws of the state of California apply here. The hierarchy for how post-TANF support is distributed is regulated at the federal level. Post-TANF distribution is: a. Current support to the custodial parent b. Post-TANF arrearage to parent c. Unreimbursed assistance to state (38%) and to federal government (62%) d. Excess to custodial parent But if pre-TANF arrearages exist the state pays the pre-TANF assistance to the family first, before repaying itself and the federal government. Related to c. above, the federal government is in line for repayment of their share before the state can start to repay itself. |

In a conversation I had with a DCSS officer, she told me that amounts paid in excess of current support get paid to the custodial parent first (these are applied to interest and then to principal on arrearages). Then the government agencies (for reimbursement of welfare funds) get paid, first outstanding interest, then principal on the arrearages. ----------------- Best way: TRY TO NEVER GET BEHIND. You get a better deal with a loan shark. ----------------- Then there is the issue of whether one can live on $1500 per month as a single person anywhere in the state of California: that's $2000 net monthly income less $500 for current support for one 14-year old. The people of the state of California have gone mad. Truly. |
