What happens if child support is overpaid

You must have the receivable account number from the notice you received to use this option. The receivable account number is 10 digits long and begins with a 2. Will this affect the current child support I receive? You may voluntarily request that we use future support to pay the receivable caused by the overpayment. If no payments are received on a receivable account within 90 days of the date on the first notice, it may be referred to the Oregon Department of Revenue for collection.

If a payment is not received on a receivable account at least once every 90 days, the debt also may be referred to the Department of Revenue.

No one wants a lengthy, contentious court battle. Child support cases can have a significant financial impact on parents. As a result, it's not uncommon for child support cases to Such an agreement is a voluntary acceptance or settlement for repayment by the payee.

Example 1: A payee considers that a court would be likely to consider that it would be just and equitable in the circumstances for a recovery order to be made, as the cause of the overpayment was a delay by the payee in notifying Services Australia of a change of circumstances.

The payee also wants to avoid incurring legal costs. The payee voluntarily agrees to repay the overpayment. Example 2: A payee considers that a court would be likely to consider that it would not be just and equitable in the circumstances for a recovery order to be made, as the cause of the overpayment was a delay by the payer in notifying Services Australia of a change of circumstances.

The payee does not agree to repay the overpayment. If the payee and payer do not agree that an amount should be repaid, the payer may apply to a court for a recovery order. This is provided for under section of the CSA Act. The court will consider whether it would be just and equitable for a recovery order to be made.
