- A. The IV-A Agency shall treat support payments received by FITAP applicants and recipients in the month of certification, prior to authorization of the first payment, as income in determining both eligibility and the amount of assistance to be provided by the agency. Such support payments shall not be treated as income in the month of certification only when remitted to the IV-D agency by the recipient. Under this rule an overpayment of assistance shall occur in the month of certification when a support payment is received and retained by an applicant or recipient and not counted by the IV-A agency in determining either eligibility or the amount of assistance to be provided through FITAP payment.
