What happens when an employer or other entity overcollects support from the noncustodial parent based on a DCS withholding order?

(1) When an employer or other entity overcollects support from a noncustodial parent (NCP) based on a withholding order issued by the division of child support (DCS), DCS evaluates what to do with the overpayment on a case by case basis.
(2) Depending on the facts of the case and the wishes of the NCP, DCS may take one of the following actions:
(a) Refund the excess money to the NCP upon request;
(b) Hold the excess money in suspense to be applied to the next month's support obligation; or
(c) Any other action which comports with the requirements of this chapter and the federal regulations concerning distribution of support payments.
