WAC 388-14A-6125. When does an initial order or final order entered by an ALJ become enforceable?

(1) If no party requests review within twenty-one days of the date OAH mailed an initial order, the DSHS division of child support (DCS) may take enforcement action on the twenty-second day after OAH mailed the order. (2) DCS may take enforcement action on a final order immediately upon entry of the order. (a) Even if a party files a request for reconsideration, a request to correct a clerical error, a petition to vacate, or a petition for judicial review, DCS does not stop enforcement of the order. (b) To stop DCS from enforcing a final order, you must obtain a court order staying (stopping) enforcement of the order.
