Total remissions represents the amount of fees related to the FOAEAA Part II that were not collected during the prescribed timeframe; therefore, fees are remitted as per the section 12 of the Family Support Orders and Agreements Garnishment Regulations. The remissions are explainable because fees can only be collected from garnishable moneys payable to the support debtor after garnishment has taken place and support commitments have been fulfilled. Any portion of the fees not collected during the year is remitted and no longer owed by the support debtor. On April 1, 2019, a new FOAEAA Part II fee structure was implemented. This change eliminated the carry forward provision that allowed uncollected fees to be collected over the five year binding period. As a result of this new fee collection structure, there is a significant increase in remissions for the fiscal year 2019-20 compared to the prior year ($3,912,754 in 2018-19). In subsequent years, remissions should return to a range similar to amounts reported prior to the coming into force of the new fee regime.
