Why did the arrears balance owed to me change when I have
not received a payment for the amount of the change?
There are several reasons why the arrears balance may
change without a payment being disbursed. OCSE may make adjustments to accounts
based on proof of payments provided by one of the parties. OCSE sometimes
learns after the fact that an order has been changed and must make adjustments
to the account to reflect the change. OCSE is required to apply federal tax
offset collections to the arrears balance upon receipt; however, if the
collection results from the filing of a joint return, OCSE will hold the funds
for a period of up to six months to allow for other possible claims on the
funds before disbursing the collections. If a claim is made against the funds
on hold by OCSE during the six-month period, another adjustment to the arrears
balance will occur.
