Title 19, Chapter 11, Section 39
( 19-11-39)
(a) The department shall create by contract, cooperative agreement,
or otherwise a computerized central case registry for all support
orders entered by any court or administrative tribunal of this
state. All IV-D agency orders as well as those not within the IV-D
agency shall be registered in this data base. The department may
enter into a cooperative agreement with the Administrative Office of
the Courts so as to obtain information needed to create and maintain
the state registry of orders as required by federal law. (b) The registry of orders shall include the following information
for each case: the full names of each party and minor child, the
date of birth and social security number for each such person, the
last known address for each person at the time the order was
entered, the name of the county in which the order was entered, any
and all case identification numbers, including civil action filing
numbers and IV-D agency assigned case numbers, and any such
information as may be later required under federal law. (c) In any case handled by the IV-D agency, the registry shall
include payment records as well as the amount of child support
liens. The payment record shall include: (1) the amount of monthly
or other periodic support owed under the order and other amounts
including arrearages, interest or late payment penalties, and fees
due or overdue under the order; (2) any amount described in item (1)
of this subsection that has been collected; (3) the distribution of
such collected accounts; (4) the birth date of any child for whom
the order requires the provision of support; and (5) the amount of
any lien imposed with respect to a child support order. (d) The state agency operating the state case registry shall
promptly establish and update, maintain, and regularly monitor case
records in the state case registry with respect to which services
are being provided by the IV-D agency. Services to be monitored
include: information on administrative actions and administrative
and judicial proceedings and orders related to paternity and
support; information obtained from comparison with federal, state,
or local sources of information; information on support collections
and distributions; and any other relevant information. (e) The information contained in the state case registry shall be
available to state and federal agencies as authorized by law for the
enforcement of support orders. The information shall be available
for data comparisons with case registries of other states. |
