Iowa Code r. 441-95.2 - Child support recovery eligibility and services
(1)
Public assistance cases.
The child support recovery unit shall 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
the unit who have applied for or are receiving public assistance. Referrals
under this subrule may be made by the family investment program, 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 for recipients of
public assistance.
(2)
Nonpublic assistance cases. The same services provided by the
child support recovery unit for public assistance cases shall also be made
available to any person not otherwise eligible for public assistance. The
services shall be made available to persons upon the completion and filing of
an application with the child support recovery unit except that an application
shall not be required to provide services to the following persons:
a. Persons not receiving public assistance
for whom an agency of another state providing Title IV-D child support recovery
services has requested services.
b.
Persons for whom a foreign reciprocating country or a foreign country with
which this state has an arrangement as provided in
42 U.S.C. ยง
659 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, the
child support recovery unit shall provide the same services as the unit
provides for public assistance recipients to persons not otherwise eligible for
services as public assistance recipients. The child support recovery unit shall
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.
(4)
Application for
services. A person who is not on public assistance requesting services
under this chapter, except for those persons eligible to receive support
services under paragraphs 95.2(2)"a," "b," and
"c," shall complete and submit to the child support recovery
unit Form 470-0188, 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 the child's parents.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 252B.3 and 252B.4.
