payments received pursuant to the order to the collection services center.
2. The department shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A to ensure that the affected
parties are notified that the support payment disbursement responsibilities have been
transferred to the collection services center from the clerk of the district court. The rules
shall include a provision requiring that a notice shall be sent by regular mail to the last
known addresses of the obligee and the obligor. The issuance of notice to the obligor is the
equivalent of a court order requiring the obligor to direct payment to the collection services
center for disbursement.
3. Once the responsibility for receiving and disbursing support payments has been
transferred from a clerk of the district court to the collection services center, the
responsibility shall remain with the collection services center even if child support services
is no longer providing enforcement services, unless redirected by court order. However,
the responsibility for receiving and disbursing income withholding payments shall not be
redirected to a clerk of the district court.
4. As provided in sections 252K.307 and 252K.319, child support services may issue and
file with the clerk of the district court, a notice redirecting support payments to a comparable
government entity responsible for the processing and disbursement of support payments in
another state. Child support services shall send a copy of the notice by regular mail to the
last known addresses of the obligor and obligee and, where applicable, shall notify the payor
of income to make payments as specified in the notice. The issuance and filing of the notice
is the equivalent of a court order redirecting support.
