The notice shall further notify the obligor of the right to an administrative determination of arrears by requesting that the local child support agency review the arrears, but that payments on arrears continue to be due and payable unless and until the local child support agency notifies the obligor otherwise. A state agency shall not be required to suspend enforcement of any arrearages as a result of the obligor's request for an administrative determination of arrears, unless the agency receives notification of a suspension pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 17526.(b) For purposes of this section, "notice of support delinquency" means a notice issued to a support obligor that includes a specific statement of the amount of delinquent support due and payable.(c) This section does not require a state or local entity to calculate the amount of a support delinquency, except as otherwise required by law.Amended by Stats 2019 ch 115 (AB 1817),s 158, eff. 1/1/2020.Amended by Stats 2016 ch 474 (AB 2882),s 24, eff. 1/1/2017.Amended by Stats 2001 ch 755 (SB 943), s 16, eff. 10/11/2001.Amended by Stats 2000 ch 808 (AB 1358), s 90, eff. 9/28/2000.Added October 10, 1999 (Bill Number: AB 370) (Chapter 654).
