Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services |
The relationship between the ESA and the CSA is an ongoing cooperation.
The ESA provides the CSA with information vital to opening medical support
cases. The ESA also supplies continuing information, which assists them
in providing medical support services. Therefore, the CSA may request
information from the ESA in addition to that included in the referral
and as contained in the case record.
CARES Client Assistance for Re-employment & Economic Support automatically shares client information with KIDS so it is important to enter the data accurately.
The CSA is notified through CARES when MA is discontinued.
The CSA will determine if non-cooperation occurs. KIDS notifies CARES
if the client refuses or fails to cooperate. You must then review eligibility.
When the CSA has knowledge of possible fraud, they will refer the case back to you. For example, if in the process of collecting support the CSA establishes that a parent is in fact not absent, they will give you that information for appropriate action (IMM, Ch. II, Part D, Fraud).
