(1) A pending financial hardship payment plan determination does not stay or delay hearings on, or implementation of, license suspension, absent a stay or continuance issued by the CSSD administrative hearing officer.

(2) A request for a financial hardship payment plan determination on each claimed incident of hardship may be made at any time, without regard to whether a license suspension proceeding is pending or has been previously implemented.

(3) A financial hardship payment plan applies only to the amount to be withheld to defray accumulated interest, fees, if any, and delinquent support amounts owed. It does not affect the amount of the obligor's current support obligation.

(4) Whenever the CSSD has determined that a financial hardship payment plan is appropriate, the CSSD hearing officer shall consider the financial hardship payment plan and either approve or disapprove the plan.
