Abstract:
This request is for reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection that has expired. The collection instrument is called the 2020 Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement. This supplement will be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and is authorized by Title 13, United States Code, Section 182. It will be conducted in conjunction with the April 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS) (OMB #0607-0049). This supplement, which was last conducted in 2018, will continue the data series started in 1979 in response to a recommendation of the Conference on Issues in Federal Statistical Needs Relating to Women. This supplement is sponsored by the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services and is authorized by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. The Child Support Supplement is designed to obtain information on the characteristics of individuals eligible to receive child support and the types of financial arrangements made to assist in the support of such individuals and any children for whom they retain custody.

Short Statement:
The Child Support Supplement has not been significantly altered since 1994, providing important trend data for the child support program and policymakers. The proposed changes to the 2020 Supplement will not change the key features of the supplement or interfere with the collection of important trend data, but it will streamline and update the supplement. We describe the changes in section A15 of Supporting Statement A. We propose deleting 25 questions and adding 10. These proposed changes will reduce the number of questions in the supplement by about 10 percent. Attachment A provides track changes to show the changes between the previously approved version and this April 2020 version.
