c)         The Agency shall refuse to issue or renew certification to any individual if the Agency has evidence that the applicant is delinquent in the repayment of an educational loan guaranteed by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, as set forth in 20 ILCS 3310/80.

d)         The Agency shall refuse to issue or renew certification to any individual, after an opportunity for a hearing, if the Agency has evidence that the applicant is delinquent in the payment of child support orders, pursuant to the provisions and procedures set forth in 5 ILCS 100/10-65.  Further process, hearing, or redetermination of the delinquency or violation by the Agency shall not be required if the refusal is based solely upon the certification of delinquency made by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (or successor agency) or the certification of violation made by the court.  The Agency may issue or renew a certification if the applicant has arranged for payment of past and current child support obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (or successor agency).  The Agency may also impose conditions, restrictions or disciplinary action upon the certification.
