(1) Monitor all amounts paid and the dates of payments and record them on an individual payment record;

(2) Ensure prompt payment to the custodial parent; and

(3) Require the requesting parent to pay a fee for the cost of providing the service not to exceed $25 annually and not to exceed State costs.
