Section 160 Section 160.110  Distribution of Child Support for Former AFDC or TANF Recipients Who Continue to Receive Child Support Services Upon cancellation of TANF or AFDC, a client's assignment of support ceases (see Section 160.20). Any unpaid support that accrued during the period of assignment shall be due to the client, and child support payments received shall be distributed as follows: a)         Current Support:  The client is entitled to receive an amount of money equal to the monthly support obligation amount that is collected for current support. b)         Past Support:  Any amount in excess of the current support obligation is first applied to past support owed the client and sent to the client. c)         Future Support:  If an amount collected as support represents payment on the required support obligation for future months, the amount collected shall be applied to future months and sent to the client in the future months for which it will be due, except when the collection was the result of a federal income tax refund intercept.  In any collection resulting from a federal income tax refund intercept, distribution will be applied in accordance with Section 160.130.  If no future support is due, the excess shall be refunded to the responsible relative.
