Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA): Processing COLA for TANF or Non-TANF

There's a difference in how COLAs are processed for public assistance (TANF) and non-public assistance (non-TANF) child support cases:

TANF non-TANF

COLAs are automatically applied unless one of the parents files an objection.

COLAs are applied only if either the custodial parent or non-custodial parent requests the adjustment.
