CSE Non-Cooperation Sanction Information

When Child Support Enforcement adds an instance of non-cooperation to the CHARTS system and the person causing the non-cooperation is in a program case that can be sanctioned, an alert is created to notify the N-FOCUS worker that the sanction should be imposed on the case.

The alerts are processed daily as information is received from CHARTS.
The alerts cannot be cleared until a sanction action is taken on the person.
The information displays in the Sanctions task under the CSE Non-Coop tab.

When the sanction is imposed in the N-FOCUS system an automatic notice is sent to the CHARTS system that the action has been taken. CHARTS is also notified in situations where the person is not a participant in a program case that can be sanctioned.

When the person cooperates with Child Support Enforcement and the information is entered in CHARTS another alert is created to notify the N-FOCUS worker that the sanction should be lifted.

When the Sanction Task is mandatory a red X appears next to the Sanctions task . The task must be viewed before budgets can be processed when:

There is an open non-budget sanction for a pending participant in an AABD/MED, ADC/MED, MED, CC or SNAP program. This sanction may have been imposed in another case.
There is an open CSE Non-Cooperation for a person who is currently an active, pending, spenddown, or premium due participant and there is no current CSE sanction in N-FOCUS.
There is an open CSE Non-Cooperation for a person who is a Financially Responsible person in an AABD/MED, ADC/MED, CC or MED program case,(except TMA) and there is no current CSE sanction in N-FOCUS.

As long as the Non-Cooperation is effective and the Sanctions task has not been resolved the red X must be viewed each time a budget needs to be processed. The red X will be removed when the sanction action is completed or when CSE has placed an end date on the con-cooperation on CHARTS, or the worker enters a Not Imposed reason in the Sanction Task.
