It is vitally important to update the finding and finding date fields on EPOC with the appropriate code and date, if applicable. The CSS Performance Credit (CSPC) screen pulls this data to calculate paternity actions, which help us to meet CSS goals. Please see the screenshot below for the location of the finding and finding date fields, as well as field input options.
| Finding Code | Description |
|---|---|
| FE | Alleged father excluded |
| GA | Pending adoption |
| GR | Paternity establishment not in the best interest of the child |
| PT | Positive genetic test |
| PP | Pending Paternity Action |
| SA | Child reached age of majority |
| VA | Voluntary acknowledgement |
| DE | Default Finding |
Note: Not all finding codes require a finding date be entered. If a finding date is required, use the date of the action (i.e. date of positive genetic test results, date Acknowledgment of Paternity signed).
