Figure 1: Total Child Support Caseload by Current, Former, and Never Assistance for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
The total child support caseload decreased slightly in FY 2006 to 15.8 million cases due in part to a decrease in current assistance cases. Families formerly on public assistance comprise the largest portion of caseload.
Figure 2: Cases With and Without Support Orders Established for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
Although, the total child support caseload decreased slightly in FY 2006, cases with orders increased by 2 percentage points over FY 2005.
Figure 3: Number of Cases for Which a Collection Was Made for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
The number of IV-D cases for which a collection was made has increased by 8.9 percent over the past 5 years-- from7.8 million in FY 2002 to 8.5 million in FY 2006.
Figure 4: IV-D and Statewide Paternities Established or Acknowledged1 for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
A total of 1.7 million paternities were established and acknowledged during FY 2006.
Figure 5: Total Distributed Collections by Current, Former, Never, and Medicaid Cases, FY 2006
Most child support collections are made for families who have never been on assistance. Former assistance and never assistance families received 85 percent of the child support collections in FY 2006.
Figure 6: Total Collections Received by Method of Collections, FY 2006
The most effective way of collecting child support continues to be through wage withholding in FY 2006.
Figure 7: Total Distributed Collections by TANF/Foster Care and Non-TANF Collections for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
Non-TANF collections continued to increase in FY 2006, while TANF/FC collections declined due to a decrease in the TANF/FC caseload.
Figure 8: Undistributed Collections (UDC) by Category and Age, FY 2006
Tax offsets held for up to 6 months was the main reason collections remained undistributed in FY 2006.
Figure 9: Interstate Collections for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
In FY 2006, interstate collections showed a 19 percent increase over those obtained in FY 2002.
Figure 10: Interstate Cases: Cases Sent to and Received From Another State for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
The total number of interstate cases sent to another State consistently exceeded interstate cases received from another State for the past five years.
Figure 11: Total Administrative Expenditures for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
Total administrative expenditures in FY 2006 increased by 3.9 percent over last year.
Figure 12: Total ADP Expenditures for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
In FY 2006, Automated Data Processing (ADP) expenditures increased 5 percent over the previous year.
Figure 13: Number of Children in the IV-D Program for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years3
After dropping for several years, the number of children in the child support program increased by nearly 89,000 between 2005 and 2006.
Figure 14: Number of Unique Persons Matched and Number of Persons in the FCR by Participant Type for Five Consecutive Fiscal Years
The number of unique persons matched increased by 6 percent between FY 2005 and FY 2006. Children make up the largest portion of the participant types.
Figure 15: Federal Offset Collections for Seven Processing Years
Federal Offset collections for 2006 were $1.6 billion, a 0.7 percent increase over the previous year.

How an Incentive Payment is Determined
Because of the complexity of the incentives formula set forth in section 458 of the Social Security Act, we have included an example of how the system would work in a particular year for State A. Let's make the following assumptions regarding State A (See table A):
The maximum incentive for State A is:

Table F
Mandated Incentive Pool Payment, FY 2000-2008
The incentive payment pool is:
For each fiscal year following fiscal year 2008, the incentive payment pool will be multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI between the two preceding years. For example, for fiscal year 2009, if the CPI increases by one percent between fiscal years 2007 and 2008, then the incentive pool for fiscal year 2009 would be a one percent increase over the $483,000,000 incentive payment pool for fiscal year 2008, or $487,830,000.
[1]OCSE charges an assortment of fees to States in return for services provided to State agencies administering the Child Support Program.� These fees reduce the total amount of expenditures that are eligible for Federal Financial Participation (FFP).� Total expenditures (including State and Federal shares) reported are net of these fees.
