Whenever
the department receives an application for services under this article on behalf
of a child born out of wedlock and the child´s mother identifies in writing
the putative father of the child, the department may make an investigation of
the surrounding circumstances and may request that the putative father
acknowledge paternity under oath. If the department is unable to secure such an
acknowledgment, the department may initiate legal proceedings to establish the
paternity of the child, unless the department determines, in accordance with
standards prescribed pursuant to the federal Social Security Act, that it is
against the best interests of the child to do so.
