financial report submitted following the
end of each fiscal quarter by each State
with an approved plan under title IV–

this form is to enable each State to meet
its statutory and regulatory requirement
to report program expenditures made in

payments to be earned in the upcoming
quarter.
Form OCSE–34–A is a financial report
submitted following the end of each
fiscal quarter by each State and Tribe
with an approved plan under title IV–

this form is to enable each State and
Tribe to meet its statutory and
regulatory requirement to report child
support collection activity during the
preceding quarter, including collection
received, collections remaining
undistributed from previous quarters, if
any, and the distribution and
disbursement of collections.
The Administration for Children and
Families provides Federal funding to
States for the Child Support
Enforcement Program at the rate of 66
percent for all allowable and legitimate
administrative costs of this program.
(Federal funding is also provided to

However, in accordance with program
regulations, Tribes are not required to
submit Form OCSE–396–A and use,
instead, quarterly submissions of OMB

calculate quarterly Federal grant awards
and incentive payments to States, to
enable oversight of the financial

in statistical and financial reports
available to the public.
