REVIEW OF CHILD SUPPORT GOOD CAUSE DETERMINATION (C)
The policy stated in this section only applies to Two-Parent TANF and Regular TANF.
Any time the circumstance upon which good cause was based appears to have changed, the eligibility worker should submit their findings to the DFR Policy Section for review. If the DFR Policy Section determines that there is not sufficient evidence to revoke the good cause exemption, it is to continue.
If the DFR Policy Section determines that good cause no longer exists based on the original circumstance, the recipient parent/caretaker relative or non-recipient parent/caretaker relative is to be given the opportunity to claim good cause based on their current situation and to provide evidence to support a new good cause claim (PPM 2436.10.10.15). The good cause claim should then be submitted to the DFR Policy Section for a new determination to be completed; or, if no new good cause claim is made, cooperation with IV-D requirements will be enforced. 2436.15.00 CHILD SUPPORT NON-COOPERATION (C)
The policy stated in this section only applies to Two-Parent TANF and Regular TANF.
Non-cooperation is determined by the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor’s office will notify the DFR of any non-cooperation through the agreed upon procedures. 2436.15.05 BLOOD TEST RESULTS (C)

Ten (10) days is given to provide this additional information.
