Distribution of IRS Arrears Payments. Lump-sum payments from Federal Income Tax Refund Offsets shall be distributed in the following order of preference:
(i)
Payment as pass-through to a custodial party receiving Tribal TANF cash assistance, if there is no current child support payment to apply to the pass-through. These payments shall be credited against arrears assigned to the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.
(ii)
Payment of transferred (assigned) arrears;
(iii)
Payment of the custodian’s arrears.
(c)
Distribution to multiple payees. If the person with the child support obligation owes child support on more than one case, distribution shall be as follows:
(i)
Current Support. If there is not enough to pay all current support owing, the available funds shall be pro-rated to each case according to that case’s share of the total current support owing on all cases.
(ii)
Arrears. If there is money left over after all current support has been paid, the available funds shall be applied to the arrears owing on all cases, pro-rated to each case according to that case’s share of the total arrears owed on all cases. Within each case, the money is first applied to any arrears owed the custodian and next to TANF arrears.
