OLGT 2022-92: TAFDC: Revised Assignment of Support Rights, Cooperation with Child Support, or Good Cause Claim Form and Revisions to Good Cause Procedures

TAFDC clients are required to assign their rights to receive child support to the state and to cooperate with Department of Revenue/Child Support Enforcement (DOR/CSE) efforts to establish a child support and medical support order for each child in the filing unit, unless good cause for not cooperating exists. To document the assignment of rights to child support and cooperation or good cause, the Assignment of Support Rights, Cooperation with Child Support, or Good Cause Claim Form (TA-34/36) must be signed indicating both the assignment of child support rights and either child support cooperation or good cause. Systems changes are planned to take effect on November 18, 2022, which will include revisions to this form, so it is easier to understand and complete. In addition, procedures for good cause verification and notification to the client of good cause approvals or denials have been revised to accommodate the hybrid work model.
