Only custodial parents who are receiving TANF or Medicaid benefits for themselves and their child(ren) are required to participate in the Title IV-D Program. If you received TANF benefits in the past and the State has not been reimbursed for those benefits, your case will remain open in the Title IV-D office until the State is repaid. So long as your case remains open, you are required to cooperate with our efforts to collect current and past-due child support.
In all other cases, however, participation in the Title IV-D Program is voluntary. If you would like to withdraw from the program and are eligible to do so, please send us a written request.
