Sec. 07.07.08.05. Investigation

A. Upon notice of certification, the obligor has a right to request an investigation by the Administration if the obligor disputes the existence or amount of the arrears.

B. The Administration may decline to investigate a complaint under the following conditions:

(1) The complaint concerns an issue other than the existence or the amount of the arrears;

(2) The complaint requesting an investigation was received more than 15 days from the date the notification of certification was sent to the obligor for a tax refund; or

(3) The complaint requesting an investigation was received more than 30 days from the date the notification of certification was sent to the obligor for abandoned property or any payment due to the obligor.

C. The Administration shall submit to the complainant and, in an NAFDC case, to the obligee, a report of its findings within 30 days from the date that the complaint was received.

D. If the investigation concludes that the obligation should not have been certified under these regulations, the Administration shall instruct the Comptroller to delete the obligation from the certified list. If the conclusion is that the amount certified was incorrectly high, the Administration shall instruct the Comptroller to reduce the amount.
