D and non-IV–D cases that require
income withholding, expires 5/31/2007,
and the Administration for Children and
Families is taking this opportunity to
revise the form and its instructions.
Overall, the language and format of
the form have been edited, modified,
and made easier to read and
comprehend. The two-page form
provides a detailed legal description of
the established order, support amounts,
and remittance information an employer
needs to withhold payments from an
obligor who owes child support. One of
the new fields on the form is for the
attachment of lump sum payments by
employers. This addition allows the
issuing entity to instruct the employer
with respect to the attachment and
remittance of lump sum payments.
Fields for child’s name and date of birth
have been moved to the front of the
form, allowing the employer community
to easily identify who the form is for
and to avoid implementation of
duplicate orders. Other changes that
have enhanced the form include: A
simplified title, clear identification of
who is sending the form, and
modifications to allow the employer to
easily report employee terminations.
Respondents: States, Territories, and
Tribes.

Title: Identifying Promising
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Diversion Practices.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Identifying
Promising TANF Diversion Practices
study is designed to understand States’
and local offices’ TANF diversion
policies and practices. Since the passage
of the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,
a majority of States have implemented
formal diversion programs that provide
assistance to families and/or impose
program requirements on them when
they apply for TANF in order to reduce
the number of families who enroll in the
program. These programs can send a
strong signal to applicants that TANF is
a work-oriented program and/or prevent
applicants’ need to use time-limited
welfare benefits. States have
implemented three types of formal
diversion programs: (1) Lump-sum
payment programs targeted to workready applicants to help them through
short-term crises; (2) ‘‘up-front’’
program requirements, such as
mandatory participation in a program
orientation or job search as a condition
of eligibility; and (3) hybrid programs
that provide short-term cash assistance
and impose up-front requirements. The
Administration for Children and
Families has contracted with
Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. to
learn more about States’ implementation
of these programs and to identify best
practices.
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The study consists of a survey of
States and in-depth visits to local sites.
The survey of States will be
administered in four stages: (1) A State
survey to the TANF director in all 50
States and the District of Columbia to
obtain a profile of States’ diversion
policies and practices; (2) a semistructured, one-hour followup
telephone interview with the State
TANF director or designee in an
estimated 35 States with current
diversion programs to gather additional
information about these programs; (3) a
semi-structured, 20-minute telephone
interview with the State TANF director
or designee in other States without
current diversion programs to learn
about future plans for diversion
programs; and (4) a semi-structured,
one-hour telephone interview with local
TANF administrators from 30 selected
local offices in States that provide local
flexibility in administering diversion
policies to learn about their practices.
To further understand the local
implementation of diversion policies
and practices, the study includes site
visits to two local offices in each of
three States with promising diversion
programs. In each office, interviews will
be conducted with one TANF
administrator, an average of two
supervisors or mid-level management
staff members, an average of three line
staff members, and an average of two
staff members from partner
organizations. Site visitors also will
observe selected activities, such as
intake, orientation, and job search.
Respondents: State TANF directors
and administrators and local TANF
administrators and line staff.
