PURPOSE
This directive implements new Income Maintenance (IV-A) and Child
Support Enforcement (IV-D) procedures, explains the IV-A, Medical

the financial support of their children. Specifically, this

districts (automated referrals in New York City will be
developed);

o Clarifies that certain child support requirements apply to
minors (persons under age 21) in receipt of Home Relief (HR) or
PG-ADC (Predetermination Grant of Aid to Dependent Children) and
in New York City, HR-PG (Home Relief Predetermination Grant), as
well as children in receipt of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC);
and
