How to Interpret

1. Choosing the type of payment record.

When you search, you must choose whether to look at Basic Payment Records, Comprehensive Payment Records, or IV-D Disbursement Records.

• Basic Payment Records show each payment received at the KPC and other credits or changes that effect the total amount owed (PYMT), the amount applied to an agency or individual’s claim (ALOC). This is often the best view to use when you want to calculate the unpaid balance on a debt.
• Comprehensive Payment Records show more detailed information about payments received and payments sent out (disbursed). Comprehensive Payment Records show the lines for every “event” in a payment history, but not disbursements to a family receiving DCF’s Child Support Services.
• IV-D Disbursement Records only show limited information about payments sent out to a family receiving services from DCF under the Title IV-D Child Support Services (CSS) program.

See #3 below for information about any event that may appear as a line on Comprehensive Payment Records, Basic Payment Records, and IV-D Disbursement Records. Some events can appear on all three views, but some will only appear on one or two views.

See #3 below for information about the different columns that may be shown. Not all the columns described are shown for all three views (Comprehensive Payment Records, Basic Payment Records, and IV-D Disbursement Records).

Once a court order has been selected, you may move back and forth between Basic and Comprehensive views without re-entering the order number.

2. The yellow identification bar across the top.

After you choose the view (Basic, Comprehensive, or IV-D Disbursements) and select an individual payment record, the yellow bar across the top identifies the payment record you have selected. This information will be included if you decide to print.

The identification bar on Basic Payment Records and Comprehensive Payment Records shows the court order number entered, the court order type, and the date range you chose (if any). Here is an example, followed by information about each part of the identification bar:

Court Order Type (CO Type) identifies the current status of this case with respect to the Title IV-D Child Support Services (CSS) program at the Kansas Department for Children and Families. There are five possible codes:

• NIVD – Non-IV-D. The case has no connection with the CSS program at this time.
• IVD – IV-D. This is an open CSS case. It is not necessarily a public assistance case. (To see disbursements to the family, you must view IV-D Disbursement Records.)
• NIVA – Partially IV-D. All current support (and maybe some past due support) is Non-IV-D. CSS is only working to collect past due support that belongs to the State of Kansas. The first money received at the KPC during a month will be applied to the Non-IV-D current support owed for that month. After current support is paid, other money received that month will be sent to DCF (IV-D).
• NIVI – Interstate, but not IV-D. Collections will be sent to another state, but CSS in Kansas is not involved.
• BLND – Blended. Part of current support is IV-D and part is Non IV-D.

IV-D Disbursement Records also have a yellow identification bar along the top, which displays the KPC PIN (or DCF Person Number) that was entered, the name that goes with that number, and the date range (if any). IV-D Disbursement Records show the KPC checks, direct deposits, and debit card deposits paid to this person. The information shown on the IV-D Disbursement Record does not guarantee that a recent disbursement is available to spend.

A person who does not have an DCF CSS case will receive an error message.
