This includes all cases that were enrolled with the Maintenance Enforcement Program at some point during the fiscal year. The interjurisdictional support order status of a case is determined by the status during the last month the case was enrolled in the Maintenance Enforcement Program. Cases administered in this table used a calculation developed for Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs data, and results will be slightly higher than the cases administered figure in Table3, which used a different calculation developed for Maintenance Enforcement Survey data.

Amounts due at the end of each month are aggregated to arrive at amount due for the fiscal year. Adjustments to the amount due transactions that occur after the reference month are not incorporated. For a case that changes interjurisdictional support order status during the year (for example from a non-interjurisdictional support order case to an interjurisdictional support order-in case), the amounts due that were charged while the case was non-interjurisdictional support order are counted under the non-interjurisdictional support order category, even though the case is listed as interjurisdictional support order-in.

Total payments received include all payments received during the year, as well as any updates to payments received after the reference month (for example, an adjustment for an non-sufficient funds cheque or late notification of a direct payment). For a case that changes interjurisdictional support order status during the year (for example from a non-interjurisdictional support order case to an interjurisdictional support order-out case), the amounts due that were charged while the case was non-interjurisdictional support order are counted under the non-interjurisdictional support order category.

Some arrears payments received in the fiscal year pay down arrears that accrued before the fiscal year.
