Abstract: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) requests renewal with minor changes of the Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement (CPS-CSS or the Child Support Supplement). The CPS-CSS, last conducted in 2020, continues the data series the government started in 1979 in response to a recommendation by the Conference on Issues in Federal Statistical Needs Relating to Women. As in prior years, the Census Bureau, through an Inter-agency agreement with OCSE, will collect the information on child support , as a supplement to the monthly Current Population Survey. This next collection will take place during the month of April 2023.

Short Statement: OCSE proposes minor changes to the 2023 information collection.

Please see Attachment A for a list all of survey questions that we propose to delete, revise, or add.
