The State Department of Human Resources (SDHR) representative’s testimony revealed that the information provided applies to all the NCP’s cases. On May 18, 2015, the FIDM lien was requested in accordance with the Code of Alabama 1975, 30-3, 30-3-197, and 30-3-198. On May 19, 2015, the Secretary of State acknowledged the FIDM lien, the FIDM levy was requested, and the Notice of Levy was sent to the financial institution. On May 21, 2015, the levy package was produced. On June 15, 2015, the Lien Unit mailed the Notice of Decision to the NCP. On June 22, 2015, the FIDM levy was requested and the Notice of Levy was sent to the financial institution. On June 24, 2015, the levy package was produced. On July 2, 2015, the Lien Unit received the NCP request for an administrative hearing. On July 14, 2015, the Lien Unit received a request for an administrative review from the NCP and a request for an administrative hearing. On that same day, the Lien Unit mailed a letter to the NCP requesting the last three months bank statements and proof of who made the deposits. They also requested the NCP to submit the documents to the Lien Unit within ten days of the date on the letter. On July 24, 2015, the Lien Unit received the Notice of Levy from APCO ECU-Birmingham stating no funds. On July 30, 2015, the Lien Unit mailed the Notice of Decision to the NCP. The letter dated July 14, 2014 mailed to the NCP received no response. In addition, the Lien Unit did not receive any documents from the NCP.
The NCP asserted that he did not meet the requirements of a lien/levy, to remove the lien on his bank account, and some of the money that was in his savings did not belong to him.
The SDHR representative response to the NCP’s issues: The Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) reviewed the facts and found no error based on the NCP’s allegation that some of the money that was in his savings did not belong to him. In addition, the CSED reviewed the facts; the NCP did not provide the requested documents per letter mailed to him on July 14, 2015. Therefore the lien/levy will remain.
The Lien Unit recommends that the lien/levy remain in place, any money collected is to be applied to the arrears balances.
