1 A person entitled to a civil penalty payment under this
2 subsection must apply to the State Disbursement Unit for the
3 payment. The State Disbursement Unit shall determine whether
4 an applicant for a civil penalty payment is eligible for the
5 payment based solely on whether the State Disbursement Unit
6 failed to disburse a support payment to the applicant within
7 the time frame prescribed by federal guidelines. If the
8 State Disbursement Unit determines that an applicant for a
9 civil penalty payment is eligible for the payment, the State
