entered into force for the United States.
This multilateral Convention contains
groundbreaking provisions that, on a
DATES:
worldwide scale, establish uniform,
simple, fast, and inexpensive
procedures for the processing of
international child support cases. Under
the Convention, U.S. states process
child support cases with other countries
that have ratified the Convention under
the requirements of the Convention and
Article 7 of the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008). In
order to comply with the Convention,

forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008,
which has been enacted by all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands, requires
states to use forms mandated by Federal
law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child
support programs to use federally
approved forms in intergovernmental
IV–D cases unless a country has
provided alternative forms as a part of
its chapter in a Caseworker’s Guide to
Processing Cases with Foreign
Reciprocating Countries.
Respondents: State agencies
administering a child support program
under title IV–D of the Social Security
Act.
