Abstract: The Child Support Enforcement Program was established under title IV-D of the Social Security Act (the Act) by the Social Services Amendments of 1974, for the purpose of enforcing the support obligations owed by absent parents, establishing paternity and obtaining child support. Because States were not providing adequate IV-D services, Congress enacted the Family Support Act of 1988 to strengthen the program by requiring, among other things, mandatory use of support guidelines, immediate income withholding, increased efforts to establish paternity and mandatory automated systems. In addition, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) further strengthened the program by requiring, among other things, the establishment of State Case and New Hire Registries and an Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service, mandatory implementation of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act and expedited administrative procedures, and enhanced automated systems. This information collection covers the transmission of both IV-D and non-IV-D data from the State Case Registry to the Federal Case Registry and the additional requirements for States operating under a waiver of Statewideness, and those whose high-risk Information Technology projects have triggered an Independent Validation and Verification review.
