049-16 Wyo. Code R. § 16-6

Current through April 27, 2019

Section 16-6 - Case Closure Criteria

(a) The IV-D child support case may be closed as long as it meets all of the requirements outlined in the federal regulations. The case closure criteria that may apply in intergovernmental cases are:

• (i) The IV-D agency documents failure by the initiating agency to take an action which is essential for the next step in providing services;

• (ii) The initiating agency has notified the responding State that the initiating State has closed its case in accordance with federal regulations; and

• (iii) The initiating agency has notified the responding State that its intergovernmental services are no longer needed.

(b) In cases meeting the criteria in accordance with federal regulations, the State shall notify the recipient of services, or in an intergovernmental case meeting the criteria for closure in accordance with federal regulations, the initiating agency, in writing 60 calendar days prior to closure of the case of the States intent to close the case. The case shall be kept open if the recipient of services or the initiating agency supplies information in response to the notice which could lead to the establishment of paternity or a support order or enforcement of an order, or, in accordance with federal regulations, if contact is reestablished with the recipient of services. If the case is closed, the former recipient of services may request at a later date that the case be reopened if there is a change in circumstances which could lead to the establishment of paternity or a support order or enforcement of an order by completing a new application for IV-D services and paying any applicable application fee.
