Section 15.125.875. Case closure.

	(a)  The agency will close a child support case when the requirements of 45 C.F.R. 303.11 are met. The requirements of 45 C.F.R. 303.11, as revised as of October 1, 2012, are adopted by reference.  
	(b)  When the agency closes a case under (a) of this section, the agency will terminate all ongoing administrative actions, including all administrative actions to establish or enforce a support obligation for the children included in the case, except that if the closure is a result of a withdrawal from services by the party that applied for agency services, the applying party is no longer receiving any state assistance, and the agency is in the process of establishing an administrative support order against the non-custodial parent for reimbursement of public assistance or state-sponsored foster care or state placement, the agency will complete the administrative action to establish the support order and will continue with administrative enforcement actions to collect any amounts due to the state. Once any arrears owed to the state have been collected, the agency will close the case.  
	(c)  Closure of a case under (a) of this section does not terminate or suspend the accrual of child support under an existing support order. When the agency closes a case under (a) of this section, any valid child support order for the children included in the case remains in effect unless the agency or another tribunal of competent jurisdiction specifically orders otherwise.
