23.3.4 COMMUNICATION WITH THE CHILD SUPPORT SPECIALIST Communication between the Worker and the Child Support Specialist continues until the case is closed and/or the child whose parent(s) is absent is removed from the benefit group. The Worker must notify the Child Support Specialist, in writing, if any information is discovered in establishing paternal and/or medical support. The Child Support Specialist must notify the Worker, in writing, of the following: • Information that affects eligibility or the amount of the payment • Change of address • Paternity is established • Information regarding a change in the cause of absence, if applicable, is secured When health insurance information is entered by BCSE, an interface between the child support enforcement system and the eligibility system occurs and the eligibility system sends an alert to the Worker. The eligibility system automatically refers changes in case circumstances to BCSE.
