252B.11 Recovery of costs of collection services.
The unit may initiate necessary civil proceedings to recover the unit’s costs of support collection services provided to an individual, whether or not the individual is a public assistance recipient, from an individual who owes and is able to pay a support obligation but willfully fails to pay the obligation. The unit may seek a lump sum recovery of the unit’s costs or may seek to recover the unit’s costs through periodic payments which are in addition to periodic support payments. If the unit’s costs are recovered from an individual owing a support obligation, the costs shall not be deducted from the amount of support money received from the individual. The costs collected pursuant to this section shall be retained by the department for use by the unit. The director or a designee shall keep an accurate record of funds so retained.
