Is there a fee for the tax intercept program?
Yes, from the amount you receive, a fee of $25 will be deducted from any federal income tax refund, and $10 from any intercepted state tax refund you receive. • I was on public assistance for a period of time, and there are arrears due the State, as well as me. Who will receive the tax money intercepted? If the non-custodial parent owes any arrears assigned to the State, these will be paid first and any remainder will be distributed to you. • How long will it be before I receive the tax refund intercept? You must be very patient about getting the money. It may take several months after the non-custodial parent files the income tax return. If an appeal is filed, it will take even longer.
