Title: Form OCSE–396–A, Child
Support Enforcement Program
Expenditure Report.
Form OCSE–34–A, Child Support
Enforcement Program Collection Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0181.
Note: This comment request republishes a
similar request dated Dec 5, 2012.
Description: Form OCSE–396–A and
Form OCSE–34–A are financial reports
submitted following the end of each
fiscal quarter by grantees with an
approved plan under title IV–D of the
Social Security Act to administer the
Child Support Enforcement Program.
The purpose of these forms is to enable
grantees to meet their statutory and
regulatory requirement to report
program expenditures and child support
collections, respectively, from the
previous fiscal quarter.
States use Form OCSE–396–A to
report quarterly expenditures made in
the previous quarter and to estimate
program expenditures to be made and
the incentive payments to be earned in
the upcoming quarter. 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.
Tribes use OMB Form SF–425 to
report quarterly expenditures made in
the previous quarter. Form SF–425 is
not included as part of this comment
request.
States and Tribes use Form OCSE–34–
A to report child support collection
activity during the previous quarter,
including collections received, the
distribution and disbursement of
collections and any collections
remaining undistributed.
States and Tribes have used different
and separate versions of Form OCSE–
34–A to report child support collection
activity. As part of this comment
request, we are proposing that these
separate reports be combined into a
single document to be submitted
quarterly by both States and Tribes.
The information collected in these
reports is used by this agency to
calculate quarterly Federal grant awards
and incentive payments to States, to
enable oversight of the financial
management of the program for both
States and Tribes and may be included
in statistical and financial reports
available to the public.
Respondents: States (including Puerto
Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands and the
District of Columbia) and Tribes with
approved title IV–D plans.
