Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: Schedule UDC: ``Itemized Undistributed Collections''.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: Although state child support enforcement agencies
successfully collect and distribute billions of dollars every fiscal
year, a certain portion of the collections remain undistributed. State
agencies have requested a methodology by which to differentiate and
report to the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) on the nature
of those collections. In some instances collections remain
undistributed for a short time, pending the anticipated resolution of
an assortment of administrative or legal processes, while in other
instances collections remain undistributed for an indefinite time as a
result of circumstances beyond the control of the state agency. This
support schedule, which will be submitted quarterly as an attachment to
Form OCSE-34A, the ``Quarterly Report of Collections,'' will enable
each state to differentiate and itemize its undistributed collections
by category and age.
Respondents: State IV-D agencies administering the Child Support
Enforcement Program under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
