Abstract: The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement, Division of Federal Systems, maintains the Child Support Portal, which contains a variety of child support applications to help enforce state child support cases. To securely access the child support applications, authorized users must register to use the Child Support Services Portal. Information collected from the registration form is used to authenticate and authorized users. After identities are verified, authorized users create secure accounts to use the child support applications for which they are authorized.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Adding the e-NMSN, e-IWO, and MSFIDM FAST Levy Profile forms constitutes a program change. This, coupled with the boost in Employer Services registrants, increased the burden hour estimates from the previous approval, which is reflected in the table of item A.12. Changes to the federal government’s annual cost from the previous information collection approval pertain to general increases to operate, maintain, and enhance the Portal framework. Ongoing Portal enhancements improve the services available to authorized users; however, they do not impact the respondent’s overall burden to complete the registration process that must first be completed to obtain access to the applications maintained in the Portal system.
