TCSU NTANF Application 2020
ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPORT
When you receive NTANF you must sign over to the Tribe any child support or spousal support payments owed to
you for any month in which you receive assistance. If the non-custodial parent pays child support while you are
receiving NTANF, you MUST turn the support payments over to TCSU. This is true even if there is no child support
order in effect.
If TCSU sends a child support payment to you in error, they will contact you to arrange
repayment of that money. If you want to repay the overpayment gradually out of future child
support payments, instead of immediately in a lump sum, check this box.
I understand that by signing below, I assign to the tribe any child support payments owed for any month in which I
receive assistance. I agree to tell the Tribal Child Support Unit of any new or changed information that relates to the child
support case and collection/payment of child support.
I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws and ordinances of this Tribe that the foregoing is true and correct.
________________________________________________________ ______________________
Signature Date
SUPPLYING INFORMATION TO TCSU SAFETY CONCERNS
You are required by law to give TCSU information to get child support for a child receiving NTANF. This means you will
be asked to identify the non-custodial parent and where he or she lives and works. You must help TCSU establish paternity
if the child has no legal father, whether or not you are an intact family. If you are receiving NTANF, any money you
receive from the non-custodial parent for child support must be given to the Tribe through TCSU.
If you believe that enforcing child support will bring harm to you or your children, and you can provide support for your
belief, you may claim good cause by marking the 2
nd
option below. You will be asked by your Tribal TANF caseworker to
provide documentation to support your “Good Cause” Claim.
1. I agree to cooperate with TCSU (sign below and complete the rest of this form)
2. I believe I have good cause to not cooperate with TCSU (sign below and provide documentation; court order, police
reports, medical reports, etc.)
Cooperation with TCSU is required or you must have good cause not to cooperate. If you do not cooperate and you
do not have good cause; your NTANF assistance payment may be reduced and sent to a NTANF approved third party
for your family. TCSU will continue to pursue child support against the non-custodial parent, even if you do not
cooperate, unless the NTANF approves good cause. By submitting this application, I understand that I am also applying
for State IV-D services for purposes of submitting arrearages for Federal tax refund offset.
