Title: Child Support Noncustodial
Parent Employment Demonstration
(CSPED).
OMB No.: 0970–0439.
Description: The Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE) within the
Administration for Child and Families
at the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services seeks an extension
without change for an existing data
collection called the Child Support
Noncustodial Parent Employment
Demonstration (CSPED) through
September 30, 2018 (OMB no. 0970–
439; expiration date September 30,
2016). Under CSPED, OCSE has issued
grants to eight state child support
agencies to provide employment,
parenting, and child support services to
parents who are having difficulty
meeting their child support obligations.
The overall objective of the CSPED
evaluation is to document and evaluate
the effectiveness of the approaches
taken by these eight CSPED grantees.
This evaluation will yield information
about effective strategies for improving
child support payments by providing
non-custodial parents employment and
other services through child support
programs. It will generate extensive
information on how these programs
operated, what they cost, the effects the
programs had, and whether the benefits
of the programs exceed their costs. The
information gathered will be critical to
informing decisions related to future
investments in child support-led
employment-focused programs for noncustodial parents who have difficulty
meeting their child support obligations.
The CSPED evaluation consists of the
following two interconnected
components or ‘‘studies’’:
1. Implementation and Cost Study.
The goal of the implementation and cost
study is to provide a detailed
description of the programs—how they
are implemented, their participants, the
contexts in which they are operated,
their promising practices, and their
costs. The detailed descriptions will
assist in interpreting program impacts,
identifying program features and
conditions necessary for effective
program replication or improvement,
and carefully documenting the costs of
delivering these services. Key data
collection activities of the
implementation and cost study include:
(1) Conducting semi-structured
interviews with program staff and
selected community partner
organizations to gather information on
program implementation and costs; (2)
conducting focus groups with program
participants to elicit participation
experiences; (3) administering a webbased survey to program staff and
community partners to capture broader
staff program experiences; and (4)
collecting data on study participant
service use, dosage, and duration of
enrollment throughout the
demonstration using a web-based
Management Information System (MIS).
Two of these collection activities will be
completed before the requested
extension period begins. They include
the focus groups and the web-based
survey of program staff and community
partners.
2. Impact Study. The goal of the
impact study is to provide rigorous
estimates of the effectiveness of the
eight programs using an experimental
research design. Program applicants
who are eligible for CSPED services are
randomly assigned to either a program
group that is offered program services or
a control group. The study MIS that
documents service use for the
implementation study is also being used
by grantee staff to conduct random
assignment for the impact study. The
impact study relies on data from surveys
of participants, as well as administrative
records from state and county data
systems. Survey data are collected twice
from program applicants. Baseline
information is collected from all
noncustodial parents who apply for the
program prior to random assignment. A
follow-up survey is collected from
sample members twelve months after
random assignment. A wide range of
measures are collected through surveys,
including measures of employment
stability and quality, barriers to
employment, parenting and coparenting, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. In addition,
data on child support obligations and
payments, Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) and
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) benefits, Medicaid
receipt, involvement with the criminal
justice system, and earnings and benefit
data collected through the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) system
are obtained from state and county
databases.
Respondents: Respondents to these
activities include study participants,
grantee staff and community partners, as
well as state and county staff
responsible for extracting data from
government databases for the
evaluation. Specific respondents per
instrument are noted in the burden table
below.
Annual Burden Estimates
The following table provides the
burden estimates for the
implementation and cost study and the
impact study components of the current
request. The requested extension period
is estimated to be two years and three
months, from July 1, 2016 to September
30, 2018. Thus, burden hours for all
components are annualized over two
years and three months.
