    Title: National Medical Support Notice.
    OMB No.: 0970-0222.

Notice (NMSN), which is sent to employers of employee/obligors and used

care coverage provision in a child support order. Primarily, the 
information the State Child Support Enforcement agencies use to 
complete the NMSN is information regarding appropriate persons, which 
is necessary for the enrollment of the child in employment-related 
health care coverage, such as the employee/obligor's name, address, and 
Social Security Number; the employer's name and address; the name and 
address of the alternate recipient (child); and the custodial parent's 
name and address. The employer forwards the second part of the NMSN to 
the group health plan administrator, which contains the same individual 
identifying information. The plan administrator requires this 
information to determine whether to enroll the alternate recipient in 
the group health plan. If necessary, the employer also initiates 
withholding from the employee's wages for the purpose of paying 
premiums to the group health plan for enrollment of the child.
    Respondents: State and Territory agencies administering the child 
Support Enforcement program.
