The participant must cooperate to identify and locate the noncustodial parent, establish paternity, and establish, modify, and enforce a child medical support order to be eligible for Medicaid. This includes support payments received directly from the noncustodial parent. The cooperation requirement is waived for poverty level pregnant women exempt from cooperating in establishing paternity and obtaining medical support from, or derived from, the father of a child born out of wedlock. A participant who cannot legally assign their own rights must not be denied Medicaid if the legally responsible person does not cooperate.
