Abstract: P. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 amended section 452(a)(11) of the Social Security Act (the Act) to require the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to promulgate a form to be used by State child support enforcement (IV-D) agencies in interstate cases. The Notice of Lien is used by State CSE programs to encumber property located in other States by filing the Lien directly in the other State. The requirement that the State CSE program secure child support debts by filing liens is a long-standing requirement of the CSE program.
