precondition to TANF benefits.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, any applicant

who makes application with the Department of Human Services for

benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

program, in order to be eligible for such assistance, shall provide

the name of the person or persons alleged to be legally responsible

for the support of a child, and if known, the address and employer

of the person or persons alleged to be legally responsible for the

support of such child prior to receipt of any such assistance.

B. 1. If the specific person or persons legally responsible

for the support of the child are unknown, the applicant for the TANF

program shall submit with the application a list of names of persons

alleged to be responsible for the support of the child to the

Department of Human Services.

2. If the applicant does not provide the Department with the

identity of the person or persons alleged to be legally responsible

for the support of the child, the applicant shall be ineligible to

continue to receive such assistance unless the Department determines

that the applicant or recipient or a child of the applicant or

recipient would more likely than not be subject to abuse for

identifying the person or persons alleged to be responsible for the

support of the child.

3. The Commission shall promulgate rules which will standardize

the decision process for determining eligibility pursuant to this

paragraph.

C. The Department shall determine the father for each minor

child for whom benefits are received under the TANF program.
