(a) Individuals residing in New Jersey who receive WFNJ/TANF, WFNJ/GA, Title XIX Medicaid assistance or who are referred as Title IV-E foster care cases are eligible for child support services.

1. WFNJ/TANF and WFNJ/GA applicants and recipients, Title XIX Medicaid applicants and recipients, and Title IV-E CP&P referrals shall accept child support services, including medical support establishment and enforcement, as a condition of eligibility for public assistance, unless good cause is found in accordance with 10:110-9.2 through 9.5 or 10:90-16.2 through 16.5 for not providing these services.

2. WFNJ/TANF, WFNJ/GA, or Medicaid assistance shall be denied or terminated for non-cooperation with child support, unless good cause is found in accordance with 10:110-9.2 through 9.5 or 10:90-16.2 through 16.5.

3. Child support services shall continue to be provided to a custodial parent when the WFNJ/TANF, Title IV-E foster care, or Title XIX Medicaid case closes, unless the closure is due to non-cooperation with child support service requirements, or the individual advises the IV-D Agency after case closure that services are no longer desired.

4. Child support services shall be provided without requiring a formal application for services.

(b) New applicants who are requesting Title IV-D services and are residing in New Jersey or having a legal residence in New Jersey, who do not receive public assistance benefits described in (a) above, must make a formal application for child support services as a condition of eligibility for those services in accordance with 10:110-7.1(b).

(c) New applicants residing outside of New Jersey shall be eligible for child support services. Non-residents may apply for services directly with the IV-D Agency in the state of their residence; with the Indian Tribe or Tribal organization child support enforcement agency, as defined herein, if appropriate; or file a petition directly with the Family Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey.
