Summary


The proposed amendment to Rule 12E-1.0052, F.A.C., substantially rewords the rule which establishes a method for determining a support collection to be unidentifiable. The rule provides for retrieving unidentifiable collections once the collection becomes identified and establishes how the Department processes payment return requests. The proposed amendment to Rule 12E-1.029, F.A.C., replaces the Memorandum of Agreement form CS-EF100 with the Financial Institution Date Match Election form, CS-EF133, as a form incorporated by reference. Rule 12E-1.031, F.A.C., establishes criteria the Department uses to determine and collect noncovered medical expenses, explains how an obligee may request these services, and details required documentation the Department must have to collect noncovered medical expenses. The rule also states the Department sends the Notice of Proceeding to Establish the Amount Owed for Medical Expenses Not Covered by Insurance form CS-EF210, along with the actions the Department will take if the Notice is uncontested or contested. Rule 12E-1.036, F.A.C., establishes the criteria for the Department’s administrative establishment of paternity and support order process. The rule informs the parties of their rights under the proceeding along with the actions required of them to establish an administrative order of paternity and support. If the action is not successfully contested and the case is not eligible for support, the Department renders a Final Order of Paternity, CS-OP50. If the case is eligible for support and the alleged father does not successfully contest the Department’s actions, the Department renders a Final Administrative Paternity and Support Order, CS-OA40.
