SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Federal Tax Refund Offset and Administrative
Offset programs collect past-due child and spousal support by
intercepting certain federal payments, including federal tax refunds,
of parents who have been ordered to pay support and are delinquent. The
Federal Offset Program is a cooperative effort among the Department of
the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, OCSE, and state child
support agencies (CSAs). The Passport Denial Program reports
noncustodial parents who owe child and spousal support above a
specified threshold to the U.S. Department of State, which will then
deny passports to these individuals. State CSAs routinely submit the
names, Social Security numbers, and the amount(s) of past-due child and
spousal support of noncustodial parents who are delinquent in making
payments to OCSE. The processing screens underwent minor formatting
enhancements and OCSE removed the option to select gender.
Respondents: Child Support Agencies.
