You Will Lose Your Cash Benefits If You Don't Cooperate With Your Plan Without a Good Reason

You must do the things in your plan to receive your cash benefits. This includes three main requirements: giving the required information about your children's absent parent and doing what is needed to get child support, making sure your children go to school, and working or participating in a work, training, or other self-sufficiency activity. If you fail to do any of these things without a good reason, you will be sanctioned.

When you are sanctioned, your cash benefits will be reduced by 7.5%. If you cooperate, they will be restored right away.

When you fail to cooperate with Child Support Enforcement, your name will be taken off your medical card, and you will not get medical assistance until you cooperate, unless you are pregnant.
