Section 1115 Waivers

DC-96-64

TO ALL STATE IV-D DIRECTORS

Dear Colleague:

The attached report provides a brief description and status of all pending Research and Demonstration Projects as of October 1, 1996, for which OCSE's Policy and Planning Division has responsibility.

We are also attaching a copy of Section 1115 Waivers with Child Support Implications in which 36 States have received waivers which directly impact child support. Many of these activities such as paying for employment-related services for noncustodial parents out of JOBS (and now TANF) monies, progressive or otherwise more rigorous sanctions for non-cooperation, and pass-through of child support collections, etc., are now matters within the state's discretion as a result of welfare reform. Waivers are no longer necessary. States will now decide whether to continue, modify or terminate these projects in addressing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

For further information about the report itself, contact either

Gaile Maller (401-5368) or Renée Jackson (401-5101). For individual projects, the Project Officer assigned to the project would be the best resource to contact.

Sincerely,

David Gray Ross

Deputy Director

Office of Child Support
