Abstract:
On an ongoing basis, Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies submit to the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (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. The Tax Refund Offset and Administrative 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 are behind in paying the debt.

Short Statement:
The number of responses and burden hours increased due to the inclusion of burden estimates for updating case information for offset and passport denial using two of the Federal Offset Processing Menu screens. The first screen allows the state worker to update information about a case; the second screen allows the worker to certify or withdraw a passport to the Department of State. Although the burden hours for the Payment File remain the same, the respondents are processing the payment files each week instead of every other week. The weekly file size is half of the bi-weekly file size, which keeps the burden hours the same. Therefore, there is a program change that resulted in an increase in burden hours and responses. There will be no adjustment.
