1-002 Initiating Good Cause Claim

1. If the "Good Cause Claim" is made to the case manager, the case manager sends the claim to Child Support Enforcement, including the worker's recommendation and any supporting evidence. If evidence is not available at such time, the "Good Cause Claim" is submitted without evidence. Any evidence subsequently received is forwarded to the Child Support Enforcement worker as soon as it is received.
2. If the "Good Cause Claim" is made to Child Support Enforcement, the child support case is suspended, stopping all new child support activities (it does not stop any enforcement methods in place).  The "Good Cause Claim" is sent to the case manager for his/her comments and/or recommendations.  The case manager should return the "Good Cause Claim" to the Child Support Enforcement worker with his/her comments as soon as possible.
