Abstract: All states have enacted the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, as required by Pub. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Each state's UIFSA law authorizes the use of federally authorized forms promulgated in connection with the IV-D child support enforcement program and mandated substantial compliance with those forms. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires IV-D agencies to transmit child support case information on standard interstate forms when referring cases to other states for processing. These standard forms have resulted in substantial improvement.
