Abstract: The information obtained from this form will be used to report Child Support Enforcement activities to the Congress as required by law, to complete performance indicators and incentives utilized in the program, and to assist the Office of Child Support Enforcement in monitoring and evaluating State Child Support Enforcement programs. On March 15, 2019 OMB approved revisions to the previous version of the OCSE-157 form. Due to the time it will take grantees to update their reporting systems and the need to start use of the revised form at the start of a fiscal year, we initially requested and received approval to continue to use the previously approved form through September 30, 2020 and begin use of the revised form at the beginning of federal fiscal year 2021 (October 1, 2020). Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on grantees ability to update systems, we would like to request a nonsubstantive change to extend use of the previously approved form through September 30, 2021 and begin use of the revised form at the beginning of federal fiscal year 2022 (October 1, 2021).
