Sec. 17.5. (a) If the bureau or the clerk of the circuit court determines that a recipient of a court ordered support obligation has received a payment that the recipient is not entitled to because the payment:

(1) was distributed to the incorrect recipient;

(2) was made due to fraudulent activity; or

(3) exceeded the amount actually due to the recipient based on an accounting error;

the bureau or the clerk of the circuit court may recoup the amount of the overpayment from the recipient.
