agencies to electronically exchange
child support and spousal support case
information with other state child
support agencies. Using the EDE
benefits state child support agencies by
reducing delays, costs, and barriers
associated with interstate case
processing; increasing state collections;
improving document security;
standardizing data sharing; increasing
state participation; and improving case
processing and overall child and
spousal support outcomes.
The activities associated with the EDE
are authorized by (1) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7),
which requires OCSE to provide
technical assistance to the states to help
them establish effective systems for
collecting child support and spousal
support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(c)(1), which
requires state child support agencies to
have expedited procedures to obtain
and promptly share information with
other state child support agencies; and
(3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), provides the
mechanism for state child support
agencies to fulfill the federal
requirement to transmit requests for
child support case information and
provide requested information
electronically to the greatest extent
possible as required by the regulation.
Respondents: State Child Support
Agencies.

Description: Through AMCS, ACF
seeks to learn more about how states
and communities coordinate early care
and education, family economic
security, and/or other health and human
services to most efficiently and
effectively serve the needs of lowincome children and their families. ACF
aims to understand strategies used to
support partnerships, including the
federal barriers to agency collaboration.
In support of achieving these goals, the
study team will conduct site visits to six
programs that offer coordinated
services. The study team will gather
information through interviews with
program staff members, such as agency
leaders or frontline staff, and focus
groups with parents.
Data collection activities will include
up to six program site visits. Programs
will be identified through a scan of
publicly available information about
programs, recommendations from
stakeholders, and proposed telephone
interviews (the information collection
request for these interviews will be
submitted under the generic clearance:
Formative Data Collections for ACF
Research, OMB #0970–0356). Once
potential programs are identified,
agency leaders will be invited to
participate in the site visit. Site visits
will include semi-structured interviews
with up to 30 total staff at each site.
Staff invited will include lead program
and partner staff to include agency
leaders (including program directors,
executive directors, or CEOs), directors
of programs within the site, frontline
staff (including service navigators or
coordinators), and focus groups with 8–
10 parents at each site. Semi-structured
interviews with program and partner
staff will obtain in-depth information
about the goals and objectives of
programs, the services provided, how

the coordinated services are
implemented, how staffing is managed,
data use, and any facilitators and
barriers to coordination. Focus groups
with parents participating in the
program will provide the opportunity to
learn about how parents perceive the
program, how it meets their needs, what
benefits they gain from the program, and
how they enroll, participate, and
progress through the program.
Respondents: Lead program and
partner program staff members working
in six programs across the United States
that coordinate early care and education
services with family economic security
services and/or other health and human
services, as well as parents receiving
services from these programs. Staff
respondents will be selected with the
goal of having staff represent each level
of the organization. Parents who have
participated in the program for at least
six months and who have received early
childhood services and at least one
other program service will be invited to
participate in focus groups.
