Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: National Medical Support Notice
OMB No.: 0970-0222
Description: The National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) is a two-
part document that requires information from State child support
enforcement agencies, employers, and health plan administrators to
assist in enforcing health care coverage provisions in a child support
order. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) developed and maintains
Part A of the NMSN, which is sent to an obligor's employer for
completion; the Department of Labor (DOL) developed and maintains Part
B of the NMSN, which is provided to health care administrators
following completion of Part A.
DOL revised Part B to conform with changes to the currently
approved Part A and is seeking a three year approval from OMB. To avoid
burdening the State child support enforcement agencies with potential
reprogramming at varying times due to future changes in either Part A
or Part B, ACF is resubmitting an unchanged information collection
package and requesting an extension to the current OMB approval of NMSN
Part A to synchronize the expiration date with NMSN Part B.
Respondents: State child support enforcement agencies, employers,
and health plan administrators.
