    I use the term AFDC for AFDC, but welfare for any government/state
hand-out, including AFDC, food stamps, WIC, etc


For the record, the requirements imposed on states with regard to
child support and asking for father`s names (no requirement thereof)
can be found in the Federal Register, Vol 56, pages 22,353-5, 1991.

There are requirements regarding how billing may be made to establish
paternity and how the state can require the child and the parties
to submit to genetic testing in contested paternity, exceptions for
cause.
On p 22354 there is requirement that the first $50 of payments goes
to the CP.

THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SEE THAT REQUIRES ANY STATE OR ANY RECIPIENT
OF WELFARE TO ESTABLISH PATERNITY.

     I personally believe that society should not allow mothers to
sponge off society without naming the father. (Of course, exceptions
for cause.)

If you don`t have access to the Federal Register, then the regulations
can be found at CFR 302.56 for child support, CFR 302.70 for paternity.
