34. CSE and Paternity DID YOU KNOW?

35.  Updates to Parentage Status should always be done by the appropriate action. To get a status of ‘Adjudicated’ enter a support order, for ‘Acknowledged’ link a POP declaration.  When parentage is adjudicated through a support order, but it is found later that parentage was acknowledged prior to obtaining the adjudication, CSE reports the earliest parentage status.  CSE will have the prior acknowledgement date (e.g. 1/1/2004) as well as the adjudication filed date (e.g. 6/1/2004) on record, and will report the parentage establishment that occurred first.  There is only one active parentage status that is displayed in the system. CSE determines what should be displayed (and what should be reported) based on what it sees in the chronological list.

36.  With the appropriate security permissions, you can view and edit the history information using the View Parentage Status History hyperlink on the “Required Relationship Detail” Page to access the “Parentage Status History List” Page. Edits made on the “Parentage Status History List” Page will impact the parentage status that displays on the “Required Relationship Detail” Page and the parentage status that is reported on the 1257.  Through a batch process, CSE searches all cases in the system for the same mother, father, and child. Upon identifying such a match, as long as the paternity declaration has not been rescinded or set aside, CSE links the Paternity Declaration record to the appropriate participant relationship (NCP and Dependent relationship). If CSE identifies a potential match to the persons listed on the Paternity Declaration, CSE generates the Action Needed Task ES003 Review Case for Potential Paternity Declaration Match.

Associated Tasks: ES003-Review Case for Potential Paternity Declaration Match ES004-Review Case Where Paternity Updated to Acknowledged ES005-Review Case Where POP Declaration was Set Aside or Rescinded CM045-Review Case - New NCP/PP CM046-Review Case - Dependent Added or Activated with Potential Multiple Paternity Opportunity Program (POP) Declarations CM081-Review Case - NCP Excluded CM082-Review Case - NCP Excluded for Some Dependants CM083-Review Case - NCP and Putative Parent Excluded

More Associated Tasks: CM094-Review Case - New NCP/PP CM095-Review Participant Update - Provide Putative Parent Rank CM096-Review Participant Update - Putative Parent Not Found DR002 – Review CP and NCP’s Marriage Date and Dependent’s Date of Birth DR003-Review Parentage Status When NCP is the Mother DR004-Update Paternity Establishment Date or Dependent's Date of Birth

39. Previous MOWC Training Q&A Q4. If you have a Paternity Only order that is being modified to a support amount, should you mark the Parentage Status in the new Support Order Detail screen as being “Established” or should you leave the Paternity Only order “Active”? A4. The parentage status should not be marked established on the new support order. The paternity only order will become historic because there are no support terms not addressed in the modified order. Even though the paternity order is marked as historic, the parentage status on the Required Relationship Detail page will still show “adjudicated” and count on line 16 in the appropriate reporting period. Reference: Staff Development & 1257 Reporting Details Q5. The “Parentage Status Date” is blank on the Required Relationship Detail Page even though there is a Parentage Status listed. How do I fix? A5. If you entered the Required Relationship Detail Screen through the case level, some cases that converted to CSE do not promote the Parentage Status Date to the Required Relationship Detail Page. This is a known issue. If this is happening on a case created in CSE, please report the issue In order to determine the Parentage Status Date in these cases, you can either click the “View Parentage Status History” hyperlink on the Required Relationship Detail page at case level or view the information at the participant level.
