45 CFR 303.7 - Provision of Services in Intergovernmental IV-D; Federally Approved Forms

The intergovernmental forms are critically important for the effective and efficient processing of child support cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008. Since enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, section 466(f) of the Social Security Act (Act) has required U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to enact certain amendments to UIFSA. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires that a petition and accompanying documents conform substantially with the standard intergovernmental forms mandated by federal law, and 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) requires state child support agencies to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental cases, unless a country has provided alternative forms in an Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) country-specific caseworker’s guide. All policy references are documented in Attachment 1.
