When a TANF or Medical Assistance-Only recipient claims good cause for not cooperating with IV-D requirements, the Department of Human Services determines if the recipient has good cause pursuant to Human Resources Code §§31.0032 and 31.0033.

1. (1) If the Title IV-D Agency receives final notification that the Department of Human Services determined good cause exists for failure to cooperate with IV-D requirements, the Title IV-D Agency shall cease all IV-D services and terminate the recipient's child support case.
2. (2) If the Title IV-D Agency receives notice that the Department of Human Services determined good cause does not exist, the Title IV-D Agency shall continue to provide appropriate IV-D services.
