Child Support Program Manual Transmittal Letter No. 31
July 30, 2008
TO: All Child Support Program Manual Holders
FROM: Helen E. Jones-Kelley, Director
SUBJECT: Grandparents' Request for Child Support for Grandchild, Requirements for Initiating and Responding CSEAs in Interstate Cases, and Reporting an Obligor to a Consumer Reporting Agency Rules.

The Office of Child Support (OCS) has proposed to rescind the following rules. The rules have been reviewed in accordance with Section 119.032 of the Revised Code, which requires the review of all state agency rules within a five-year period.

Rescinded RuleRescinded Rule TitlePrior Effective Date of RuleEffective Date of Rescission
5101:12‑45‑15Grandparents' request for child support for grandchild.09/01/200508/01/2008
This rule describes the establishment of an administrative child support order for a child born to parents who are minors and unmarried when a grandparent of that child requests child support for that child.
This rule is being rescinded and replaced by a new rule with the same rule number and title because more than fifty percent is being stricken and a comparable amount of new text is being added.
5101:12‑55‑15Reporting an obligor to a consumer reporting agency.09/01/200508/01/2008
This rule describes the process of reporting an obligor to a credit reporting agency when the obligor is determined to be in default.
This rule is being rescinded and not being replaced since SETS submits the obligor electronically to a CRA and no additional action is required by the CSEA. You may obtain a copy of the rule from the child support program manual (CSPM).

OCS has proposed to adopt the following rule:

Adopted RuleAdopted Rule TitleEffective Date of Adopted Rule
5101:12‑45‑15Grandparents' request for child support for grandchild.08/01/2008
This rule describes the establishment of an administrative child support order for a child born to parents who are minors and unmarried when a grandparent of that child requests child support for that child.
Changes from the rescinded rule include: revise the language and re-format the rule for clarity; remove unnecessary references to ORC sections; replace ORC citations with OAC citations. There are no changes to the existing process.
This rule replaces rule 5101:12‑45‑15, which is being rescinded as a result of the five year review requirement; is authorized under ORC section 3125.25; and amplifies ORC sections 3109.19, 3125.03, and 3125.25.

OCS has proposed to amend the following rule. The rule has been reviewed in accordance with Section 119.032 of the Revised Code, which requires the review of all state agency rules within a five-year period.

This rule is authorized under ORC section 3125.25 and amplifies ORC sections 3115.15, 3115.16, and 3115.18.

INSTRUCTIONS for CSEA INTERNAL PROCEDURAL HANDBOOK:

Paragraph (I)(1) of OAC rule 5101:12-1-01 states that, whenever a program change requires modification of local procedures, the CSEA is required to revise its internal procedural handbook and submit the revision to OCS within thirty days of the revision.
