§ 50101. County Department Responsibilities.
(b) The county department shall take the following actions whenever an applicant or beneficiary, who is applying for or receiving Medi-Cal on behalf of a child under eighteen years of age who was born out of wedlock or who has an absent parent, meets his/her responsibilities as specified in Section 50185 (a) 10.
(1) As soon as possible after the applicant's or beneficiary's opportunity to claim good cause as specified in 50771.5, and not later than two working days after approval of eligibility, the county shall provide to the district attorney the following forms, whether or not the Child/Spousal and Medical Support Notice and Agreement (CA 2.1 Notice and Agreement) has been completed;
(2) If the referral described in (1) above has previously been provided to the district attorney, the county shall promptly report to the district attorney whenever good cause has been claimed. The district attorney will suspend all activities to establish paternity or secure medical support until notified of a final determination of good cause by the county.
(3) The county shall promptly report to the district attorney all cases in which it has been determined that there is or is not good cause for refusal to cooperate as specified in Section 50771.5. The district attorney will not undertake to establish paternity or secure support if there has been a finding of good cause unless there also has been a determination by the county that the district attorney may proceed without the participation of the parent or caretaker relative. If there has been such a determination, the district attorney may undertake to establish paternity or secure support but may not involve the parent or caretaker relative.
(4) If the county determines that the applicant or beneficiary and the child on whose behalf the application was filed are not eligible, the applicant or beneficiary shall be informed that he/she may go to the district attorney for help in locating the absent parent(s) of the child, collecting child and medical support for the child, and establishing paternity.
