Iowa Admin. Code r. 441-95.2 - [Effective 4/1/2025] Child support eligibility and services
(1)
Public assistance cases.
Child support services will provide paternity establishment and support
establishment, modification and enforcement services as appropriate, under
federal and state laws and rules for children and families referred to child
support services who have applied for or are receiving public assistance.
Referrals under this subrule may be made by the family investment program
(FIP), the Medicaid program, the foster care program, or agencies of other
states providing child support services under Title IV-D of the Social Security
Act as amended to August 1, 2024, for recipients of public
assistance.
(2)
Nonpublic
assistance cases. The same services provided by child support services
for public assistance cases will also be made available to any person not
otherwise eligible for public assistance. A person who is not on public
assistance requesting services under this chapter will complete and submit to
child support services a form prescribed by the department, or an electronic
version of such application, for each parent from whom the person is seeking
support. The person requesting services has the option to seek support from one
or both of a child's parents. Child support services will not require an
application from the following:
a. Persons not
receiving public assistance for whom an agency of another state providing Title
IV-D child support services has requested services.
b. Persons for whom a foreign country as
defined in Iowa Code chapter 252K has requested services.
c. Persons who are eligible for continued
services upon termination of assistance under the family investment program or
Medicaid.
(3)
Services available. Except as provided by separate rule, child
support services will provide the same services to persons receiving public
assistance and persons not receiving public assistance. Child support services
will determine the appropriate enforcement procedure to be used. The services
are limited to the establishment of paternity, the establishment and
enforcement of child support obligations and medical support obligations, and
the enforcement of spousal support orders if the spouse is the custodial parent
of a child for whom the department is enforcing a child support or medical
support order.
