A $15 fee will be withheld from the credit to the first county or city. If the county or city submitted multiple debts under the same debtor name and social security number on the same date (e.g. the county or city chose not to combine multiple debts under the same debtor name and social security number), the county or city will only be charged one $15 fee. Again, the county, or city cannot charge the debtor for the $15 and must reduce the debt by the entire amount withheld. · Should the individual debtor's refund exceed the first county or city's total debt and another county or city has submitted other debt(s) owed by' the same debtor, the debtor's remaining refund will be reduced by the amount of the second county or city's debt and the $15 fee will also be withheld from the credit to the second county or city. This procedure shall continue through the priority of debtors should there be sufficient refund due the debtor. · If a refund is due to a debtor in a subsequent year and the debt continues to exceed $50, the refund shall be paid to the county or city that remains next in the order in priority, including a county or city that received a partial payment of its debt from the refund due in a prior year and a new $15 match fee shall be charged. Should the individual debtor's refund exceed the first county or city's total debt and another county or city has submitted other debt(s) owed by the same debtor, the debtor's refund will be reduced by the amount of the second county or city's debt and a new $15 fee will also'be withheld from the credit to the second county or city. This procedure shall continue through the priority of debtors should there be sufficient refund due the debtor.
