Abstract:
The intergovernmental forms are critically important for the effective and efficient processing of child support cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008. Since enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, section 466(f) of the Social Security Act (Act) has required U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to enact certain amendments to UIFSA. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires that a petition and accompanying documents conform substantially with the standard intergovernmental forms mandated by federal law, and 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) requires state child support agencies to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental cases, unless a country has provided alternative forms in an Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) country-specific caseworker’s guide. All policy references are documented in Attachment 1.

Short Statement:
The estimate of annual burden hours has declined from 515,860 hours in the last approval to 456,947 hours in this request. Changes in burden are due to the decline in the overall child support caseload over the last several years. States use these forms to process cases between jurisdictions; these intergovernmental cases are a percentage of each state’s overall caseload. Therefore, as the total number of cases declines, so does the number of intergovernmental cases. For information on the child support caseload, see OCSE Preliminary Data Report FY 2023, Table 34.
