Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Evaluation of Child Support Enforcement Cooperation
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
(Pub. L. 115-334) requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to conduct an independent evaluation
of the child support cooperation requirement in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The planned data collection
fulfills this evaluation requirement. Section 17 [7 U.S.C. 2026] (m)
(1, 2) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 Section 17, 7 U.S.C.
2026), as amended by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018,
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into contracts with
private institutions to assess the implementation, impacts, costs, and
benefits of having a child support cooperation requirement in SNAP. The
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(Appendix A3: Legal Authority Pub. L. 104-193) gave States the option
to require custodial and noncustodial parents who apply for and
participate in SNAP to cooperate with the child support program. The
goals of this requirement are to increase child support participation,
increase the income of families, and reduce their need for public
assistance.
Need and Usse of the Information: The primary purpose of this
voluntary, one-time data collection is to assess the implementation of
the following: (1) The implementation of the child support cooperation
requirement for each State in the study that currently implements the
requirement; (2) the feasibility of implementing the child support
cooperation requirement in a sample of State agencies that formerly
implemented the requirement or are considering implementing the
requirement; (3) the impact of the child support cooperation
requirement in SNAP on both custodial and noncustodial parents in study
States that have or formerly had a child support cooperation
requirement; (4) how State agencies align the procedures for the
implementing child support cooperation requirement in SNAP to those in
other Federal programs; (5) determine the costs and benefits to State
SNAP agencies, child support agencies, and households of requiring
State agencies to implement the requirement; (6) assess the impact of
the requirement on SNAP eligibility, benefit levels, food security,
income, and economic stability.
Description of Respondents: Individuals/Households (750) Business-
for-not-for-Profit (12) State, Local, or Tribal Government (352).
Number of Respondents: 1,114.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 1,514.
