ARSD 67:18:01:49.03. Furnishing information to consumer reporting agencies

The department shall furnish overdue child support information to consumer reporting agencies or credit bureaus. The department shall give the noncustodial parent written notice before information is released. The notice advising the noncustodial parent that the past-due support may be reported to the credit bureau may be included as part of the preoffset notice of the federal tax refund offset program or may be mailed to the noncustodial parent as a separate form of notice. A noncustodial parent who wishes to contest the accuracy of the information to be released must request an administrative review before the date specified in the notice. If the department receives the request within the time specified in the notice, the noncustodial parent has 15 calendar days to submit written documentation for review by the department. The 15-day period starts with the date the department receives the request for the administrative review. Based on the review of the documentation submitted, the department shall enter a decision establishing the amount of past due support that may be furnished to a consumer reporting agency or credit bureau. The noncustodial parent may appeal the review decision by submitting a written request for a fair hearing within ten days after receiving a copy of the review decision.
