3. For Article 9 of the Child Support Order (applications by those receiving benefit) there shall be substituted—
9.—(1) This Article applies where income support, an income-based jobseeker's allowance or any other benefit of a prescribed kind is claimed by or in respect of, or paid to or in respect of, the parent of a qualifying child who is also a person with care of the child.
(2) In this Article, that person is referred to as the parent.
(3) The Department may—
(a)treat the parent as having applied for a maintenance calculation with respect to the qualifying child and all other children of the non-resident parent in relation to whom the parent is also a person with care; and
(b)take action under this Order to recover from the non-resident parent, on the parent's behalf, the child support maintenance so determined.
(4) Before doing what is mentioned in paragraph (3), the Department shall notify the parent in writing of the effect of paragraphs (3) and (5) and Article 43.
(5) The Department may not act under paragraph (3) if the parent asks it not to (a request which need not be in writing).
(6) Paragraph (1) has effect regardless of whether any of the benefits mentioned there is payable with respect to any qualifying child.
(7) Unless the parent has made a request under paragraph (5), that parent shall, so far as that parent reasonably can, comply with such regulations as may be made by the Department with a view to its being provided with the information which is required to enable—
(a)the non-resident parent to be identified or traced;
(b)the amount of child support maintenance payable by the non-resident parent to be calculated; and
(c)that amount to be recovered from the non-resident parent.
(8) The obligation to provide information which is imposed by paragraph (7)—
(a)does not apply in such circumstances as may be prescribed; and
(b)may, in such circumstances as may be prescribed, be waived by the Department.
(9) If the parent ceases to fall within paragraph (1), that parent may ask the Department to cease acting under this Article, but until then it may continue to do so.
(10) The Department shall comply with any request under paragraph (9) (but subject to any regulations made under paragraph (11)).
(11) The Department may by regulations make such incidental or transitional provision as it thinks appropriate with respect to cases in which it is asked under paragraph (9) to cease acting under this Article.
(12) The fact that a maintenance calculation is in force with respect to a person with care does not prevent the making of a new maintenance calculation with respect to that person as a result of the Department acting under paragraph (3).”.
