§ 2a:17-56.

a. The State IV-D agency shall have the authority to charge an application fee to

individuals not receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families who apply for IV-D services. (1) The application fee shall be uniformly applied on a Statewide basis and shall be

a flat dollar amount not to exceed $25 or other amount as may be appropriate for any fiscal year to reflect administrative

costs. (2) The fee shall be collected directly from the individual who applied for IV-D services. (3) The State IV-D agency shall determine by regulation the distribution of the fees

collected. b. In addition to the application fee, the State IV-D agency shall charge a $25 annual

fee for the collection of child support for IV-D services in those cases in which

the State has collected at least $500 on behalf of an individual receiving support

for a child who has never received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The State IV-D agency shall have the authority to pay the fee using federal incentive

dollars as available, and when not available, the State IV-D agency shall exercise

its option under the federal “Deficit Reduction Act of 2005,” Pub.L.109-171 and its implementing regulations to collect the fee from the non-custodial parent. 1
