Short Statement: Adjustments were made to the respondent burden hour from the previous approval request to reflect the increase in respondents using the IWO form and an increase in the number of responses sent by respondents. Additionally, there is an increased number of respondents now using e-IWO since the previous approval request. Currently used by 52 states and territories and 17,985 employers and income withholders comprising over 19,000 Federal Employer Identification Numbers, the e-IWO initiative decreases costs and increases child support collections. The table entry in section 12 for “programming for electronic withholding order/notice (child support agencies)” shown in prior Supporting Statements is removed because states are required to make the changes to the form for use in paper format in their automated systems. To generate e-IWOs, they pull the data from the system which would have already been updated with the changes.
