Debt setoff of prize

In applying subsection 7 of North Dakota Century Code section 53-12.1-12, if two or more persons or state agencies make adverse claims to part or all of a player's prize amount and one of the claims is for child support, the lottery shall transfer the amount claimed for child support directly to the state disbursement unit of the department of human services, may transfer any remaining prize amount up to the amount of the other claims to Burleigh County district court, and then make a payment of any remaining prize amount to the player. However, if none of the claims is for child support, the lottery may transfer the total amount of the claims to Burleigh County district court and make a payment of any remaining prize amount to the player. The lottery shall notify each of the affected state agencies or persons of the amount transferred to district court. The lottery shall notify the player in writing of the proposed debt setoff and the player's recourse. If the player disputes the child support claim, the player shall pursue remedial action according to subsection 2 of North Dakota Century Code section 50-09-14. If the player disputes a claim unrelated to child support, the player may pursue remedial action through district court.
