Title:

Provision 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 USC 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. These forms are expiring in January 2008 and the Administration for Children and Families is taking this opportunity to make some revisions as requested by States and Territories during the 60-day comment period.

Respondents:

State and Territory agencies administering the Child Support Enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
