Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Federal Tax Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport
Denial Program.
OMB No.: 0970-0161.
Description: The Tax Refund Offset and Administration Offset
Programs collect past-due child support by intercepting certain Federal
payments, including Federal tax refunds, of parents who have been
ordered to pay child support and who are behind in paying the debt. The
program is a cooperative effort among the Department of Treasury's
Financial Management Service (FMS), the Federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE), and State Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies.
The Passport Denial program reports non-custodial parents who owe
arrears above a threshold to the Department of State (DOS), which will
then deny passports to these individuals. On an ongoing basis, CSE
agencies submit to OCSE the names, Social Security numbers (SSNs), and
the amount(s) of past-due child support of people who are delinquent in
making child support payments.
Respondents: State IV-D Agencies.
