ACTION TRANSMITTAL
AT-05-03
DATE: January 28, 2005
TO: State Agencies Administering Child Support Enforcement Plans under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act and Other Interested Individuals
SUBJECT: Distribution of Federally Approved Standard Interstate Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Forms
BACKGROUND: The last set of standard interstate CSE forms was distributed via OCSE-AT-00-11. In addition to publishing the required 60-day notice in the Federal Register in December 2003, we solicited comments from the CSE community to provide suggestions for form revisions.

REFERENCES: 42 U.S.C. 666(f) required all States to enact UIFSA by January 1, 1998. UIFSA, at section 311(b) requires the use of federally approved forms in interstate CSE proceedings. Tribal IV-D agencies are not required to use these forms.
EFFECTIVE DATE: These revised forms are effective January 31, 2005. States will need time to make system programming changes to automate the new forms. Therefore, please continue to honor previous forms and implement the revised ones as soon as possible. We will make these forms available at our web site in the near future.
