INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT TRANSMITTAL #1 - ACKNOWLEDGMENT
(Return this form to the initiating jurisdiction.)
PURPOSE OF THE FORM:
The purpose of the form is to inform the initiating jurisdiction of the responding jurisdiction’s receipt of Transmittal #1 and
request any additional information or forms that are needed to take further action on the case.
Italicized text that appears within a “box” refers to policy or provides additional information.
For an address outside the United States, be sure to include the foreign country and postal code.
Tribal IV-D programs may choose to use the federal Intergovernmental forms. However, they are not required to
use or accept such forms. If you have any questions, contact the tribal IV-D agency directly using the contact
information on the OCSE website.
If this is a tribal IV-D case, note that tribal locator codes uniquely identify tribal cases with “9” in the first position,
0 (zero) in the second position, and then a 3-character tribal code defined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

agency to which you are sending the CSE Transmittal #1 - Acknowledgment.
• In the appropriate spaces, enter the initiating jurisdiction’s locator code, state, IV-D case identifier, and, if applicable,

The following options are available for making IV-D requests and sending information on IV-D cases:
1. CSENet transactions are the recommended method for making requests or sending information to another
state. If CSENet is not listed as an option on the form, then it cannot be used to convey any of the requests
for information or IV-D requests provided on the form. Supporting documentation should be sent through
EDE, whenever possible. If certified copies are needed, hard copies should also be sent by mail. Mail or
fax may also be used for all documents when EDE is not available.
2. If CSENet transactions are not available in your state, EDE is the next preferred method for transmitting your
request or information. Both your state and the receiving state must be using the EDE application to use this
communication method.
3. If the EDE application is not available in your state or the receiving state, then mail or fax must be used to
communicate your request.
