What is the name of your state? Colorado
I just have a quick question, does anyone know what forms of public assistance are eligible for repayment by the non custodial parent through their child support obligation.
As short as possible.
I became disabled two years ago (spring of 05) a year later in Spring of 06 I applied for public assistance, Medicaid and Food Stamps only. I did not apply for or receive any form of cash assistance, I did apply for Colorado Works but they could not help someone with my level of disability obtain employment.
Because of my medicaid application, I was required to reroute my child support through Child support enforcement. They have had a considerable amount of trouble getting my account straightened out, at first they were showing my ex in arrears in an amount over $3000. He has never missed a payment, but after several attempts in writing, they still insisted he was in arrears.
They finally allowed me to sign a waiver regarding all "past due" amounts. I told him I had taken care of it, and this month it should be corrected.
This month they still took out the additional amount of support... and I still have not received payment. I called and clarified that they did receive his payment on the 29th of last month, and discovered that they are now holding him responsible for $3176 owed to the State "for benefits received"
He is in the military, and the kids have Tri-care benefits. It covers a little over half of their medical care... according to the court we are both equally responsible for the remaining amount. I have not asked him to pay any amount of the bills prior to applying for Medicaid.
Since they did not specify what benefits they are holding him responsible for, I am not sure at this time if it is Medical or food Stamp benefits if any.
If it is medical, it doesn't seem right since he is already providing them with half.
I can't find anything in any of the statutes requiring him to reimburse the State for either Food Stamps or Medicaid benefits, and my current husband has never been billed for either program though his daughter is on FS, Medicaid and Child support enforcement. So I am confused...
He has always been a responsible parent as far as child support, and I hate to see them take something from him that he does not owe. So what forms of public assistance are the non-custodial parents responsible for exactly?
I obviously have a lot of letters to write, I just need to make sure I know what I am talking about before I begin. Can anyone shed some light on this before I get too involved?
