(1) The division of child support (DCS) may ask to add a monthly financial support obligation to an administrative child support order for medical support only, if:
(a) The custodial parent who previously requested medical support only services, files an application for full support enforcement services; or
(b) A child covered by the order receives public assistance.
(2) The procedure required to add the monthly financial support obligation depends on whether DCS served a notice and finding of medical responsibility (NFMR) or medical support only notice and finding of financial responsibility (NFFR) to establish the administrative support order:
(a) If the medical support obligation was established through service of a NFMR, DCS serves a NFFR under WAC 388-14A-3115 which requests a monthly financial obligation.
(b) If the medical support obligation was established through service of a NFFR, DCS files a petition to modify the previous administrative order under WAC 388-14A-3925.
