of spousal and child support and medical insurance benefits that he or she may
have for a dependent child, that accrue during the period that assistance is
received. The assignment of support rights applies to any rights:

she is an ineligible grantee;

on behalf of the teen parent who is not the grantee; and
(c) on behalf of any family member for whom
the grantee is applying or receiving assistance.
(3) When a grantee refuses to assign any
rights of spousal and child support and medical insurance benefits, the entire
assistance unit is subject to sanction (see
106 CMR
703.500(C)) .
(4) When a teen parent who is not the grantee
refuses to assign any rights of spousal and child support and medical insurance
benefits, the teen parent and his or her dependent child are subject to
sanction (see
106 CMR
703.500(D)) .
(5) Refusal of the grantee, or a teen parent
who is not the grantee, to assign his or her rights does not abrogate the right
of DOR to collect support for the amount of assistance
provided.
