§ 10:90-16.1 Introduction
(a) P.L. 93-647 establishes Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, which mandates procedures for locating non-custodial parents, establishing paternity for children born out- of-wedlock and establishing, enforcing and/or modifying support obligations owed by non- custodial parents to their children. Title IV-D services with regard to paternity determinations and support collections shall be available to a WFNJ individual, a Medicaid individual, a Title IV-E individual or any other individual not receiving WFNJ who files an application for child support services. (b) The WFNJ program is designed to promote self-sufficiency. Support collections are a vital financial resource to all individuals attempting to attain and/or maintain self- sufficiency. Applicant/recipient cooperation with the county social service agency child support unit (CSSA/CSU) is a necessary step in obtaining support collections. Child support cooperation is an interactive ongoing process based on individual case circumstances. The applicant/recipient has a continuing responsibility to provide all necessary and new information available to them. The CSSA/CSU is responsible for assisting the clients in obtaining information in its efforts to make paternity determinations and to obtain support collections from their responsible parent(s).
