Frequently Asked Questions Topic: Tax Interception Q:Why was I certified for tax interception and referred to the credit bureau if I am paying child support regularly? Regardless of whether you are making regular payments, cases are certified for tax interception and referred to the credit bureau based on the past-due arrears balance. If your arrears balance is: $150 or more and the custodial parent is receiving TANF benefits or you have a foster care case, you qualify for tax interception. $500 or more and you have a NON-TANF case or the custodial parent is receiving Medicaid only for the child(ren), you qualify for tax interception. $1000 or more, you can be reported to the credit bureau.
