19 administrative enforcement unit or the entry of any order or
20 determination of paternity or support or reimbursement by the
21 administrative enforcement unit; except that notice shall be
22 served by certified mail addressed to the responsible

28 on behalf of applicants for or recipients of financial aid
29 under Article IV of this Act and other persons who are given
30 access to the child and spouse support services of this
31 Article as provided in Section 10-1. If the notice is served
32 or sought to be served by a private person, the return shall
33 be by affidavit.
