(N.D.A.C. Section 75-02-02.1-09)
An assignment of rights to medical support from any absent parent of a child who is under age eighteen and who is deprived of parental support or care is automatic under North Dakota state law. (Refer to Section 510-03-35-10 for the description of deprivation.)
The assignment of rights to medical support from absent parents continues through the month in which the child reaches the age of eighteen or until the child’s eligibility for assistance ends, whichever occurs first.
An automated referral will be made to Child Support to pursue Medical Support for all children whose deprivation is based on the absence of a parent, except that no referral is made: For any Subsidized Adoption child; In any case in which the only eligible individuals are children; In any case in which the only eligible caretaker is pregnant; or In any case in which the only eligible caretakers are continuously eligible, receiving Extended Medicaid Benefits, or receiving Transitional Medicaid Benefits.
