abstract: These final rules implement sections 9141 and 9142 of Public Law 100-203, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, which amended title IV-D of the Social Security Act (the Act). Section 9141, effective December 22, 1987, amended section 457(c) of the Act to require State child support enforcement (IV-D) agencies to provide appropriate notice and to continue to provide IV-D services to persons no longer eligible for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) under title IV-A of the Act. The IV-D agency must continue to provide services and pay any amount of support collected to the family on the same basis and under the same conditions as pertain to other non-AFDC families, except that no application, other request to continue services or any application fee for services may be required. Section 9142, effective July 1, 1988, amended section 454 of the Act to require State IV-D agencies to provide IV-D services to families who receive Medicaid and have assigned to the State, under section 1912 of the Act, their rights to medical support and to payment of medical care from any third party, and to provide for distribution by the State of medical support collections under section 1912 of the Act.
