Answer 1

COAP Eligibility List

The Local Child Support Agency (LCSA) determines the noncustodial Parent's (NCP's) eligibility for COAP in accordance with specific eligibility criteria including the following:

Minimum amount of Permanently Assigned Child Support Arrears (up to the Unreimbursed Assistance Pool amount) owed to the government of at least $5000.

No previous application to participate in COAP within one year prior to the date of application.

No rescission of a previous COAP agreement within two years prior to the date of application.

No conviction or contempt finding for failure to pay child support within six months prior to the date of application.

No intentional failure to pay in anticipation of COAP.

Only one child support case in California’s child support program. This restriction does not include duplicate cases which must be transferred to the appropriate LCSA.1

The NCP does not have the ability to pay off all arrears owed, including interest, within three years from the date of application.

Ability to pay current support, arrears owed that are to be distributed prior to the arrears owed to the government and the arrears repayment amount as provided in the compromise agreement within a three-year period from the date of the Agreement from any source (e.g. gift, loan, income).

No concealment of any income, assets, or any reasonably anticipated income or assets, and no intentional withholding or falsifying of financial information.
