Abstract:
The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) requests renewal with minor changes of the Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement (CPS-CSS or the Child Support Supplement). The CPS-CSS, last conducted in 2020, continues the data series the government started in 1979 in response to a recommendation by the Conference on Issues in Federal Statistical Needs Relating to Women. As in prior years, the Census Bureau, through an Inter-agency agreement with OCSE, will collect the information on child support , as a supplement to the monthly Current Population Survey. This next collection will take place during the month of April 2023.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
OCSE proposes minor changes to the 2023 information collection. We propose the following: delete 13 questions that are no longer considered necessary; revise the language in 3 questions; add 9 questions about customer satisfaction with the child support program; and add 2 questions about whether children were born while the parents were married. Please see Attachment A for a list all of survey questions that we propose to delete, revise, or add. Changes in burden estimates are due to the updates to the way the CPS-CSS will be conducted in 2023, as described in A12.
