Section 9 CCR 2504-1-6.502 - LOCATE FUNCTIONS [Rev. eff. 11/1/13]

Within seventy-five calendar days of determining that location is necessary, the Child Support Services Unit must access all appropriate locate sources including transmitting appropriate cases to the Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service and ensuring that information is sufficient to take the next appropriate action in a case. In intergovernmental cases, it is the responsibility of the initiating agency, rather than the responding state, to access the Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service when appropriate, and provide new locate information to the responding agency. However, if the initiating agency is a foreign country, the responding agency should access the expanded Federal Parent Locator Service.

C. Local telephone company, United States Postal Service, financial references, unions, fraternal organizations, parole and probation records and police records;

D. Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service and other state parent locators;

E. Local offices administering public assistance, general assistance, medical assistance, food assistance, and social services;

F. Custodial party, friends, and relatives of noncustodial parents;

G. Credit reporting agencies.

1. A full credit report may be obtained only if a child support order exists, except as provided in Section 6.709.3.
