Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Computerized Support Enforcement Systems.
OMB No.: 0980-0271.
Description: The information being collected is mandated by section
454(16) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which provides for the
establishment and operation by the state agency, in accordance with an
initial and annually updated Advance Planning Document (APD) approved
under section 452(d) of the Act, of a statewide system meeting the
requirements of section 454A of the Act. In addition, 454A(e)(1)
requires that states create a State Case Registry (SCR) within their
statewide automated child support systems to include information on IV-
D cases and non-IV-D orders established or modified in the state on or
after October 1, 1998. Section 454A(e)(5) of the Act requires states to
regularly update their cases in the SCR.
The data being collected for the ADP are a combination of
narratives, budgets and schedules, which are used to provide funding
approvals on an annual basis and to monitor and oversee system
development. Child support has separate regulations under 45 CFR 307.15
related to submittal penalties for non-compliance with the statutory
deadline of October 1, 2000. This information collection reflects the
fact that 50 states and territories are now certified under the
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA) leaving only four states that are not yet PRWORA systems
certified, including one state that has not submitted an implementation
APD for compliance with PRWORA automation. States and territories that
opted to keep their Annual Planning Documents for child support systems
are covered under a separate information collection, OMB No. 0992-0005,
for 45 CFR part 95 subpart F.
The data being collected for the State Case Registry is used to
transmit mandatory data elements to the Federal Case Registry (FCR)
where it is used for matching against other data bases for the purposes
of location of individuals, assets, employment and other child support
related activities.
Respondents: The respondents are 54 state and territorial child
support agencies.
