Sec. 26. (a) A recipient of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (45 CFR 265) who is aggrieved by the action of the Title IV-D agency in paying or not paying money to the recipient out of the support money collected by the agency under an assignment to Indiana may appeal the action to the Title IV-D agency. The appeal may not be used to redetermine eligibility for assistance, but must be limited to the issue as to whether upon the records before the Title IV-D agency proper distribution was made out of the support money collected.

(b) If, as a result of the appeal, the Title IV-D agency has reasonable cause to believe that the records in the agency's possession concerning the appellant are in error, the Title IV-D agency shall notify the agency supplying the records of possible errors and request corrective action.

(c) The appeal hearing must be held in accordance with the rules of the department.
