Tennessee child health care benefits, without knowing the father

Tennessee child health care benefits, without knowing the father?
I was speaking to a friend, and she has received a phone call from the Tennessee state health department claiming that if she cannot produce a father for her child should lose her health benefits for her child. I have done the search for new laws pertaining to this and I am not able to find any. could someone direct me to use new law with the literature involved in it so I can see if this would be a valid case for her to dispute as there is no way for her to submit this information. the father was only in town for a couple of months make a candy coated bunch of bs than disappeared. She never got his birthday etc etc and his name is to common to find him she cant find the father and needs help... we all pay taxes and this may be taken wrong but is not racist There are millions of Hispanic families with full benefits that came here illegally and don't pay taxes. With all due respect I pay my taxes like everyone else and I see a young mother in real need of help, unlike some of these leaches who lie about disability etc. sucking the system dry. So you mean to tell me you agree in a bastardized system that allows illegals to have fully paid for food housing health and education but a struggling young mother needing help not on food stamps or in public housing needing the health care benefits to pay for the shots and checkups a child needs in a system that supposedly is there for any child is in need and we are talking about a mother who does not have a husband or a awesome career. I have to disagree and tell you on your point of view and say that's a bad ansewe

Good. She ought to know who she was having sex with. And the father should be forced to pay for the care of his child. Call the State Health Department and ask them to send you the literature on the law, or get the law number and look it up on-line.

When mothers ask the state to foot the bill for their child in the form of Medicaid, welfare, food stamps, WIC, Section 8 housing, etc., any kind of public assistance, the Attorney General of that state will go after the other parent to pay child support. This isn't a new law. If your friend knows who is the father and she wants the taxpayers to feed her child, she'll have to fess up....If your friend does not know who the father is, she should call Maury Povich....
