§ 31-25-4-23. Title IV-D agency; incentive payments; distribution from county treasury
Sec. 23. (a) Subject to subsection (d), the Title IV-D agency shall provide incentive payments to counties for enforcing and collecting the support rights that have been assigned to the state. The incentive payments shall be made by the Title IV-D agency directly to the county and deposited in the county treasury for distribution on a quarterly basis and in the following manner:
(1) Twenty-two and two-tenths percent (22.2%) of the incentive payments shall be distributed to the Title IV-D incentive fund established in accordance with section 23.5 of this chapter by each county that receives payments under this subdivision.
(2) Thirty-three and four-tenths percent (33.4%) of the incentive payments shall be distributed to the operating budget of the prosecuting attorney.
(3) Twenty-two and two-tenths percent (22.2%) of the incentive payments shall be distributed to the operating budget of the circuit court clerk.
(b) Notwithstanding IC 36-2-5-2(b), distribution from the county treasury under subsection (a) shall be made without the necessity of first obtaining an appropriation from the county fiscal body.
(c) The amount that a county receives and the terms under which the incentive payment is paid must be in accordance with relevant federal statutes and the federal regulations promulgated under the statutes. However, amounts received as incentive payments may not, without the approval of the county fiscal body, be used to increase or supplement the salary of an elected official. The amounts received as incentive payments must be used to supplement, rather than take the place of, other funds used for Title IV-D program activities.
(d) The Title IV-D agency shall retain twenty-two and two-tenths percent (22.2%) of the incentive payments described in subsection (a).
