Section 111-G. Availability of paternity and support services

1. The office
  of   temporary   and  disability  assistance  and  the  social  services
  districts, in accordance with the regulations of the office of temporary
  and  disability  assistance,  shall  make  services  relating   to   the
  establishment  of  paternity  and  the  establishment and enforcement of
  support obligations available to persons not receiving family assistance
  upon application by  such  persons.  Such  persons  must  apply  by  (i)
  completing  and  signing a form as prescribed by the office of temporary
  and disability assistance, or (ii) filing a petition with the  court  or
  applying to the court in a proceeding for the establishment of paternity
  and/or  establishment  and/or enforcement of a support obligation, which
  includes a statement signed by the person  requesting  services  clearly
  indicating  that  such  person is applying for child support enforcement
  services pursuant to this title.
    2.  The  office  of  temporary  and  disability  assistance  may,   by
  regulation,  require payment of an application fee for such services and
  the deduction of costs in excess of such fee from amounts  collected  on
  behalf of such persons.
    3.  (a)  A  person who is receiving child support services pursuant to
  this section who has never received assistance pursuant to title IV-A of
  the federal social security act shall be subject to  an  annual  service
  fee  of twenty-five dollars for each child support case if at least five
  hundred dollars of support has been  collected  in  the  federal  fiscal
  year.  Where a custodial parent has children with different noncustodial
  parents, the order payable  by  each  noncustodial  parent  shall  be  a
  separate  child  support  case  for  the  purpose  of imposing an annual
  service fee. The fee shall  be  deducted  from  child  support  payments
  received on behalf of the individual receiving services.
    (b) In international cases under section 454(32) of the federal social
  security  act  which  meet  the  criteria  for  imposition of the annual
  service fee under paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the annual  service
  fee  shall  be  imposed  but  may  not  be  collected  from  the country
  requesting services  or  a  person  living  in  another  country  unless
  permitted by federal law or regulation.
