131.36 Application for Support Services
On the cash assistance authorization date, in addition to the Certificate of Cooperation, PA/CS 643A paper referral, the CAO authorizes the PA/CS 643 Application for Support Services electronically through eCIS. The electronic application is sent from eCIS to the DRS through the Pennsylvania Child Support Enforcement System (PACSES) for each absent LRR and each putative father. The electronic application is not sent by the CAO if the CAO determines the applicant/recipient has good cause not to cooperate with support requirements. See Section 131.3 Cooperation With Support Requirements .
The DRS must notify the CAO when genetic testing excludes a named putative father. If the excluded person is the first named putative father, the CAO must interview the recipient to get the name and information for another putative father. The CAO must authorize generation of another electronic Application for Support Services through eCIS to PACSES.
