15.7  Good Cause Claim Investigation and Determination

The W-2 agency must investigate any good cause claim based on anticipated harm, even if the applicant or participant fails to submit corroborative evidence  or evidence is unavailable. (See 15.6.4)

If corroborative evidence is submitted, but the applicant or participant’s statement and corroborative evidence does not provide enough information for the W-2 agency to make a determination, the W-2 agency may investigate any good cause claim.

The W-2 agency must give the CSAChild Support Agency the opportunity to review and comment on the agency’s findings prior to the W-2 agency’s final determination on good cause.  The W-2 agency must consider any recommendations from the CSA.
