The Peer TA Network would like to learn about successful collaborations between TANF and Child Support Enforcement?

A Region IX state is seeking examples of States that have provided or referred recipients exiting cash assistance with/to enhanced Child Support Enforcement services. These cases may be those leaving assistance due to earned income or time-expiration. Please provide a name and contact number, and additional details would be greatly appreciated.

Which state or sub-state areas have TANF and child support enforcement joined forces to prioritize TANF cases nearing their TANF time limits for IV-D services, i.e. order establishment and enforcement? If so, how did they approach it, and how is it going?

A representative from ASPE would like to identify any States that have developed statute procedures or written policies for reducing or suspending state child support debt when parents marry or re-marry. Washington and Vermont have taken steps to help parents who marry or re-marry handle any state child support debt that might have accumulated while they were not living together.

The Peer TA Network would like to know if any State Legislatures audited/reviewed any aspects of their State IVD Program operations--not including audits conducted by a State auditor or State audit agency--and issued a report?

The Peer TA Network would like to know which States charge application and other fees for IV-D services? How much is the fee? Are the fees charged to the custodial or noncustodial parent? Does the State absorb the fee?
