DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
Title: OCSE396A: Financial Report; and OCSE34A: Quarterly Report of Collections.
OMB No.: 09700181.
Description: Each State agency administering the Child support Enforcement Program under Title IVD of the Social Security Act is required to provide information to the Office of Child Support Enforcement concerning its administrative expenditures and its receipt and disposition of child support payments from noncustodial parents. These quarterly reporting forms enable each State to provide that information, which is used to compute both the quarterly grants awarded to each State and the annual incentive payments earned by each State. This information is also included in a published annual statistical and financial report, available to the general public.
Comments sent to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, both directly and in response to the Federal Register Notice published June 10, 2002 (67 FR 39727), et seq.), provided many useful recommendations to update and correct these financial reporting forms.
Based on these comments, these forms have been revised to conform with recent changes in Federal law and to enable State agencies to more accurately report financial data. In particular, State agencies will now be able to report amounts expended on computer systems in greater detail, and will be able to better differentiate the distribution of child support payments received on behalf of children in foster care facilities or who are current or former recipients of Medicaid payments. State agencies will now be able to identify those child support collections which, although undistributed, will be disbursed shortly to families and those collections that require further review before disbursement.
Respondents: State agencies administering the Child Support Enforcement Program.
