SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The EDE provides a centralized, secure system for
authorized users in state child support agencies to electronically
exchange child support and spousal support case information with other
state child support agencies. EDE benefits state child support agencies
by reducing delays, costs, and barriers associated with interstate case
processing, increasing state collections, improving document security,
standardizing data sharing, increasing state participation, and
improving case processing, resulting in better overall child and
spousal support outcomes. OCSE made minor updates to the Portal screens
to enhance functionality.
Respondents: State Child Support Agencies.
