Title: Provision of Child Support Services in IV-D cases under the
Hague Child Support Convention; Federally Approved Forms.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: On January 1, 2017, the 2007 Hague Convention on the
International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family
Maintenance will enter into force for the United States. This
Convention contains groundbreaking provisions that, for the first time
on a worldwide scale, will establish uniform, simple, fast, and
inexpensive procedures for the processing of international child
support cases. Once the Convention is in effect, U.S. states will
process child support cases with other countries that have ratified the
Convention under the requirements of the Convention and article 7 of
the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008). In order to
comply with the Convention, the U.S. must implement the Convention's
case processing forms.
State and Federal law require states to use federally-approved case
processing forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008, which has been enacted
by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands, requires States to use forms mandated by Federal law.
45 CFR 303.7 also requires child support programs to use federally-
approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a country has
provided alternative forms as a part of its chapter in a Caseworker's
Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries.
Respondents: State agencies administering a child support program
under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
