Interpretation: The eligible parent or other caretaker/relative of a child under the age of 21 whose parent is absent from the home must meet the following IV-D requirements, for medical support only unless it is a child-only MA case:

Cooperate in good faith with the State and the local social services district to establish the paternity of a child born out of wedlock, to locate any absent parent or putative father and to establish, modify, and enforce support orders.

The term “cooperation” includes providing information for the A/R to complete the DSS-2860, Child Support Referral form and, if required, appearing at the local Child Support Enforcement Unit (CSEU) to be interviewed. A Medicaid applicant who is not pregnant or in the 60 day postpartum period or otherwise exempt must assist in completing the DSS-2860 appear at the CSEU, as necessary, and cooperate with the CSEU unless good cause not to cooperate is found to exist.

A Medicaid recipient’s continued cooperation with the CSEU is prerequisite to his or her ongoing eligibility to receive Medicaid. An A/R’s Medicaid eligibility is not delayed or denied, however, if the A/R is complying but, through no fault of the client, the IV-D process has not been completed.
