Examples of noncooperation include but are not limited to the client's refusal to:

1. Appear or respond when requested to provide written or verbal information that is reasonably available to the client;
2. Appear as a witness at judicial or other hearings or proceedings;
3. Provide information or attest to the lack of information;
4. Sign any necessary legal documents or Child Support Enforcement forms;
5. Pay to the Department any support payments received from the non-custodial party or other party after support is assigned;
6. Submit herself/himself and/or the child(ren) for genetic testing and otherwise assist in the establishment of paternity for a child for whom assistance is claimed;
7. Identify and provide relevant information about any third parties who may be liable for Medicaid costs;
8. Provide dependent Social Security numbers when requested;
9. Provide information about payments made directly from any third party;
10. Forward any payments made for medical expenses to the Department or to the health care provider. Noncooperation status continues until the child/spousal support or third party medical payments have been repaid or a satisfactory agreement for repayment has been made and kept.  If an agreement is made and subsequently broken, cooperation is considered restored when the client makes a current, regularly scheduled payment according to the terms of the agreement.  The client is not required to make up the missed payments in order to be considered cooperating; or
11. Repay the Department any support incorrectly paid.
