If you need assistance finding the local office that serves you call Iowa law says support payments have to be sent to our Collection Services Center CSC. We send the payor a form explaining how to make payments. Here is how we apply payments to your case First we pay any current support due for the month. Whether support is for the current month is based on when the employer withheld it or when CSC gets it depending on the source. If there is money left over we pay the newest balance due first. Once we send the payee at least 500 in a year and if the children have never gotten public assistance Iowa law requires the payee to pay an annual fee of 25. We take this 25 fee from the support payments. If the children get public assistance the payee assigns the support to the state for that period. This means we pay the support we collect to the state. The state keeps the lesser of the public assistance paid or the amount of assigned support. After the payee goes off public assistance we pay o Any current support to the payee. o Any past-due amounts due the payee. We only pay future support when o There are no past due amounts. o The payment is for more than current support and is not from income withholding. o The payor asks us to if the payment is from income withholding. If there is money due the state the payee may review collections kept by the state through the automated information line or on our web site.
