Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Provisions of Services in Interstate Child Support.
Enforcement: Standard Forms.
OMB No.: 0970-0085.
Description: Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, amended 42 U.S.C. 666 to
require State and Territory Child Support Enforcement (CSE) IV-D
agencies to enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)
into State and Territory law by January 1, 1998. Section 311(b) of
UIFSA requires States and Territories to use standard interstate forms.
45 CFR 303.7 also requires CSE IV-D agencies to transmit child support
case information on standard interstate forms when referring cases to
other States and Territories for processing. During the OMB clearance
process, we are taking the opportunity to make revisions that have been
requested by the State.
Overall, the language, format and instructions have been
standardized across the forms. The title of the forms has been changed
to ``Intergovernmental'' to reflect their use by States, Tribes, and
foreign countries. For clarity in the Transmittal Initial Request we
added a field for Born Out of Wedlock and Date Paternity Established.
Instructions for the new fields have been added. Fields to identify
Tribal affiliation have been added to all three Transmittals as well as
instructions for this field. The instructions have been clarified by
highlighting policy information that was included with the instructions
so it is distinct and by making the instructions that are common across
the forms consistent. Minor changes to common labels across the
instructions have been made for consistency, e.g., Social Security No.
and SSN to Social Security Number, email and E-mail to E-Mail, fax and
Fax to FAX. These changes are in response to requests and comments made
by States.
Respondents: State and Territory agencies administering the Child
Support Enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security
Act.
