Abstract: These forms are used for the Child Support Enforcement Program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act. With these forms, States report assorted administrative expenditures made each quarter and the amounts collected as child support payments each quarter. This reporting also includes a breakdown of the collected payments that are distributed to the custodial parent or to the Federal or State governments. These forms also allow States to report the estimated amount of the performance-based incentive payment earned each quarter and an itemized rationale for the States balances of undistributed collections. The expenditure and collection information is used to calculate quarterly grant awards and annual incentive payments to the States, and is published in an Annual Report available to the general public. Respondents are limited to the designated child support enforcement agencies in each State.
