These procedures provide instructions for adding and printing any of the Kansas or out-of-state Notice of Assignment of Support Rights documents. These procedures assume that a legal action has already been added for the court order and the participants and their roles already exist in the system. If you do not have a copy of the petition you must add the petition legal action to the system and then you may generate an NOA. Once the petition is received from the court, select the legal action and update it with the caption, etc.

NOTE: The petition or journal entry legal action will list all of the children (LROL information). Therefore when an NOA legal action is added, it will list all of the children (LROL information) and pertain to all of the CSE cases related to the legal action. Do not add a duplicate NOA legal action if there is an active NOA legal action, unless the child (ren) were non case related and are now case related. If that is the situation, follow Business Practice 900-28 Adding/Generating A Notice of Assignment For A Child Who Was A Non-Case Related Person and Is Now A Case Related Person and generate another NOA. This NOA will re-list the children on the previous NOA and include the additional children.

NOTE: If a copy is needed for paper files in other CSE offices, staff in that office may make a copy by selecting the NOA legal action on ODCM (Outgoing Document Maintenance), press PF24 (print) to download the document for your file. If the cases are in the same CSE office, copies can be made and dispersed.

NOTE: If the legal action was just established by CSE, there is only one CSE case associated to the legal action and the user knows an NOA does not exist on this court order number, LACN does not need to be checked.

--Enter--

Classification N

Court case number and the tribunal information

If there is an NOA in effect (no partial or complete termination notice created after the NOA), do not add another NOA legal action unless the child (ren) were non-case related and are now case related. If that is the situation, follow Business Practice 900-28 Adding/Generating A Notice of Assignment For A Child Who Was A Non-Case Related Person and Is Now A Case Related Person and generate another NOA.

If an NOA has not been done for the court case number follow the rest of the business practice steps.

If the assignments do not need to be changed:

NOTE: If all legal roles have not been added previously, the system will automatically flow to LROL and you should proceed to step 3. If legal roles have been added previously, but the paternity indicators have not been updated previously, the system will flow to CPAT and you should proceed to step 4. If legal roles and paternity indicators have both been updated previously, the system will copy legal assignments from the previous legal actions. If the assignments need to be changed, press PF18 to access ASIN and proceed to step 5.

NOTE: If the paternity indicators on CPAT have not been updated since the case opened and are still set at the default values, the system will automatically flow to CPAT to update the indicators and you may proceed to step 4. If CPAT indicators have already been updated, the system will automatically flow to ASIN and you may proceed to step 5.

4. On CPAT:

Valid combinations of codes at this time are:

BOW = Y, CSE to EST = Y, PE = Y

BOW = Y, CSE to EST = Y, PE = N

BOW = Y, CSE to EST = N, PE = Y

BOW = Y, CSE to EST = U, PE = N

BOW = N, CSE to EST = N, PE = Y

--PF9 to return to ASIN--

An assignment for both EST and RSP must be in effect. This assignment is used to download documents, create monitored activities and generate reports. If the case is not referred to an attorney, you must select the attorney that will be signing the NOA (KS NOAs). (Out of state NOAs can be assigned to someone other than an attorney)

To assign the Legal Action to a Service Provider other than the one displayed on ASIN:

--Enter the office number for the Service Provider in the Office No field--

--Press PF2 (Display)--

--Press PF9 (Return). The system will automatically return to ASIN with the Service Provider ID selected--

--Press PF9 to return to LACT--

NOTE: The filed date is mandatory. If it is not entered, the system will not allow the same NOA legal action to be added in the future because it will appear to duplicate an existing legal action.--

--Press PF6 (Update)--

--Press PF24 (Print). The system will download the document--

If there is missing information needed to download the document, the system will flow to DDOC (dead document) and provide a message indicating what information is needed to download the document. If the highlighted field is green, the user will need to input information on the line provided. If the highlighted field is red, the user must enter the information in a field (s) in the system before the download can be completed. You may need to scroll through the pages of this screen to see what is highlighted. If the information missing needs to be added to the case, press PF9 (Return) and go to the appropriate screen, add data, return to the screen and try printing again.

Edit, paying special attention to the areas of the document that are in red, making sure the data downloaded is correct.

Save and print the document.

Exit the document and return to the LACT screen by clicking on the session bar.

Copies of NOAs should be made and filed in all associated CSE Case files. Only one original NOA with a copy of the NOA should be sent to the court. The court should file stamp the copy and return it to the office. Upon receipt of the file stamped copy, the correct filed date must be entered on LACT.
