Based on the evidence supplied by the applicant or recipient under § 67:12:01:66.04, or the department's own investigation as specified in § 67:12:01:66.05, or a combination of both, the department shall determine whether good cause exists. If the department determines that good cause does not exist, the applicant or recipient must be notified according to §§ 67:12:02:01 and 67:12:02:02. The notice must afford the applicant or recipient the opportunity to agree in writing to cooperate; withdraw the application; have the case closed; request a hearing; or, if the child is not required to be a part of the assistance unit according to § 67:12:01:69, have the child removed from the application. The notice must contain a statement that the applicant or reipient's refusal to cooperate will result in ineligibility for assistance.
