The Worker records details about payments and payment dates from each of the absent parents, how the payments were verified, whether or not any income was counted from each source and, if so, how the amount was determined. Example 8: Same situation as above, except the client indicates she also receives child support arrearages, as well as ongoing child support. The client states that the arrearage payments from Parent A are received regularly, but the amount varies. She states that she seldom receives arrearage payment from Parent B, and she cannot anticipate any payments. Parent C makes arrearage payments regularly, and the amount is usually the same. The Worker requests the following verifications: Parent A’s payments for the last six months; Parent B’s payments for the last six months; and Parent C’s payments for the last three months. The client reports and verifies the following child support arrearage payments from the three parents: Parent A: • March 1

$200 • February 1 $100 • January 1 $50 • December 1 $75 • November 1 $300 • October 1 $25 Parent B: • February 14 $80 Parent C: • February 20 $50 • January 20 $50 • December 20 $50 The Worker determines the average monthly arrearage payment made by Parent A and anticipates that amount to continue. The Worker and client cannot reasonably anticipate that any arrearage payments will be received from Parent B during the certification period, so no arrearage amount from him is counted.
