MN SF1450

Allows public authorities to discontinue child support services and close cases when all children are emancipated if the arrearage is under $500 or meets unenforceable criteria.

Permits case closure when arrearage is considered unenforceable due to no collections in three years, obligor has no known income or assets, and no reasonable prospect of future payment after all remedies attempted or determined ineffective.

Requires public authority to mail written notice to obligee and obligor at least 60 calendar days before discontinuation, with a second notice to obligee mailed 7 calendar days after the first.

Mandates cases remain open if obligee responds before closure with information that could reasonably lead to arrearage collection.

Allows obligee to request case reopening by submitting new application for services if circumstances change that could reasonably lead to collection.
