 7        Sec. 10-4.  Notification  of  Support  Obligation.    The
 8    administrative enforcement unit within the authorized area of
 9    its  operation  shall  notify each responsible relative of an
10    applicant or recipient, or  responsible  relatives  of  other
11    persons given access to the support services of this Article,
12    of  his  legal  obligation  to support and shall request such
13    information  concerning  his  financial  status  as  may   be
14    necessary  to  determine  whether  he  is financially able to
15    provide such support, in whole or in part. In cases involving
16    a child born out of wedlock, the notification shall include a
17    statement that the responsible relative has been named as the
18    biological  father   of   the   child   identified   in   the
19    notification.
20        In the case of applicants, the notification shall be sent
21    as soon as practical after the filing of the application.  In
                            -2-            LRB9009117DJcdam03
 1    the case of recipients, the notice shall be sent at such time
 2    as may be established by rule of the Illinois Department.
 3        The   notice   shall  be  accompanied  by  the  forms  or
 4    questionnaires provided in Section 10-5.  It shall inform the
 5    relative that he may  be  liable  for  reimbursement  of  any
 6    support   furnished   from   public   aid   funds   prior  to
 7    determination of the relative's financial  circumstances,  as
 8    well  as for future support. In the alternative, when support
 9    is sought on  behalf  of  applicants  for  or  recipients  of
10    financial aid under Article IV of this Code and other persons
11    who are given access to the child and spouse support services
12    of this Article as provided in Section 10-1, the notice shall
13    inform  the relative that the relative may be required to pay
14    support for  a  period  before  the  date  an  administrative
15    support order is entered, as well as future support.
16        Neither  the  mailing nor receipt of such notice shall be
17    deemed  a  jurisdictional  requirement  for  the   subsequent
18    exercise  of  the  investigative  procedures undertaken by an
19    administrative enforcement unit or the entry of any order  or
20    determination of paternity or support or reimbursement by the
21    administrative  enforcement unit; except that notice shall be
22    served  by  certified  mail  addressed  to  the   responsible
23    relative  at  his  or  her last known address, return receipt
24    requested, or by a private person over 18 years  of  age  and
25    not  a  party  to  the  administrative  proceeding, or by any
26    method provided by law for service of summons, in cases where
27    a determination of paternity or support by default is  sought
28    on  behalf  of  applicants for or recipients of financial aid
29    under Article IV of this Act and other persons who are  given
30    access  to  the  child  and  spouse  support services of this
31    Article as provided in Section 10-1. If the notice is  served
32    or  sought to be served by a private person, the return shall
33    be by affidavit.

 6    however,  or  in  cases  of  default  in which the notice was
 7    served on the responsible relative by certified mail,  return
 8    receipt requested, or by a private person as authorized under
 9    Section 10-4, or by any method provided by law for service of
10    summons,  the  administrative  determination  of paternity or
11    administrative support order may be sent to  the  responsible
12    relative  by  ordinary  mail  addressed  to  the  responsible
13    relative's last known address."; and

26    administrative registration of a support order entered  by  a
27    court  or  administrative  body  of another this or any other
28    state. The purpose of registration shall  be  to  enforce  or

31    for  the  sole  purpose of enforcing the registered order and

15    to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment
16    or installment becomes due under the  terms  of  the  support
17    order.   Each  such judgment shall be enforceable in the same
18    manner as any other judgment in this State. A lien arises  by
19    operation  of  law  against the real and personal property of
20    the noncustodial  parent  for  each  installment  of  overdue
21    support owed by the noncustodial parent.
22        A  one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of
23    past-due child support  owed  on  July  1,  1988,  which  has
24    accrued  under  a  support  order  registered by the Illinois
25    Department under this Section.  The charge shall  be  imposed
26    in  accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 and shall
27    be enforced by the court in a suit filed under Section 10-15.
