To be eligible for payments for aid to families with dependent children, an applicant or recipient shall:

3. Identify the parents of the child for whom aid is claimed, subject to the "good cause" provisions or exceptions in federal law or regulations. However, this requirement shall not apply if the applicant or recipient submits a statement under penalty of perjury that the identity of the parent is not reasonably ascertainable and the local department of social services is aware of no other evidence which would refute such statement; and

3. 4. Cooperate in (i) identifying and locating the parent of the child with respect to whom aid is claimed, (ii) establishing the paternity of a child born out of wedlock with respect to whom aid is claimed, (iii) obtaining support payments for such applicant or recipient and for a child with respect to whom aid is claimed, and (iv) obtaining any other payments or property due such applicant or recipient of such child.
