Description: Section 454(15)(A) of the Social Security Act, as

Human Services, and to provide a report of the findings to the
Secretary. This information is required to determine if States are
complying with Federal child support mandates and providing the best
services possible. The report is also intended to be used as a
management tool to help States evaluate their programs and assess
performance.
Respondents: State Child Support Enforcement Agencies or the
Department/Agency/Bureau responsible for Child Support Enforcement in
