2068 Voluntary Referral - All households which include a child whose parent(s) is absent may voluntarily request to be referred to CSS. CSS will help with establishing paternity if not already established and obtaining support. Clients requesting CSS services shall be given the name and phone number of the appropriate contact person in the local CSS office. No automated process is in place for referring voluntary CSS participants.
There is no penalty for failing to cooperate with CSS on a voluntary referral.
A previous finding of noncooperation by a voluntary household shall not impact future assistance under any program.
