Complex system processing for reverse child support cases 277-03020020




This document outlines the processes to manually update complex reverse cases where Cuba does not automatically reflect all details of the assessment. It contains processes for Service Officers (SO), Service Support Officers (SSO) and Program Support Managers (PSM).

Processing timeframes

When a reverse case exists and one of the issues described in this document is identified, system processing should occur in real-time. This is referred to as ‘same day processing.’

If a reverse case is identified as being incorrect at any other time, the correct processes must be completed before commencing the system processing described in this document. See Correcting errors on child support cases.
