<HD SOURCE="HED">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</HD>
<E T="03">Description:</E>
Public Law 113-183, the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act amends section 466(f) of the Social Security Act, requiring all states to enact any amendments to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act “officially adopted as of September 30, 2008, by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws” (referred to as UIFSA 2008). Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires the states to use forms mandated by federal law. 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) also requires child support programs to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a country has provided alternative forms.
<E T="03">Respondents:</E>
State agencies administering a child support program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
<HD SOURCE="HD1">Annual Burden Estimates</HD>
Annual burden estimates have been updated to reflect a decrease in the nationwide child support case load since the most recent full OMB review and approval process in 2023. Therefore, the annual number of responses per respondent has decreased, resulting in an overall decrease in estimated annual burden. The number of respondents and estimated time per response has not changed.
