Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 63.1-105.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 63.1-105.1. Eligibility for payments for aid to families with dependent children.
To be eligible for payments for aid to families with dependent children, an applicant or recipient shall:
1. Furnish, apply for or have an application made in his behalf for, a social security account number to be used in the administration of the program;
2. Assign the Commonwealth any rights to support from any other person such applicant may have in his own behalf or in behalf of any other family member for whom the applicant is applying for or receiving aid and which have accrued at the time such assignment is executed;
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 [ oath
penalty of perjury ] that the identity of the [
parent parents ] is not reasonably ascertainable and
the local department of social services is aware of no other evidence which
would refute such statement.
3. 4. Cooperate in (i) identifying and locating the
parent 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.
