1621.1 Non-Custodial (Absent) Parent – Information To provide the most accurate information to CSEP, case managers will:
obtain as much information on the non-custodial parent(s) as the caregiver can provide, and review the Non-Custodial Parent (NCP) form, 2906-EG, to ensure no areas are blank, and the information provided is complete;
If a child has more than one possible father, such as a child born during
marriage, a signed affidavit of paternity, a father named in a court order, or
an alleged biological father, obtain information on all possible fathers. If a
possible father is in the home, see section A-300.
assist the caregiver to determine if additional information about the non- custodial parent(s) can be obtained from other sources; advise the caregiver to report any new or additional information about the non-custodial parent(s); ensure the caregiver is cooperating in providing information based on the
interview and other related evidence.
1621.2 Surrendering Child Support Payments to CSEP After TANF/NEON or Child-Only cash benefit approval, the caregiver must surrender all court-ordered or voluntary support payments for an assisted child to the CSEP received directly from the NCP or another child support agency.
To ensure the state receives all support for TANF/NEON or Child-Only reimbursement to which it is entitled, staff must:
advise the caregiver to surrender all court-ordered or voluntary support payments received after approval; provide the caregiver the address to the State Collections and Disbursement Unit (SCaDU); forward any support payments that are received at the local office to the State Collections and Disbursement Unit (SCaDU) and provide the
caregiver with a receipt for the surrendered support.
1621.3 Updates to CSEP Referrals Once the initial referral has been sent to CSEP, provide updates to the referral if:
changes in the household occur; changes to non-custodial parent information are made, no matter the source; or a denial/termination for non-cooperation is appealed.
