-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to approve the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH),
with minor changes to the Multistate Employer Registration form, for an
additional three years. The current OMB approval expires July 31, 2025.
DATES: Comments due July 7, 2025. In compliance with the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public
comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing [email protected].
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The NDNH is a federally mandated repository of
employment and wage information. The information maintained in the NDNH
is collected electronically and used for authorized purposes. State
child support agencies use the NDNH information to locate a parent
living or working in a different State and to take appropriate
interstate actions to establish, modify, or enforce a child support
order. Specific State and Federal agencies also use NDNH information
for authorized purposes to help administer certain programs, prevent
overpayments, detect fraud, assess benefits, and recover funds, as
provided under 42 U.S.C. 653(i)(1). OCSS changed the unconventional
date format to a standard format in the NDNH record specifications and
changed the Multistate Employer Registration Form to revise language,
update links, and remove the option to submit it by mail.
Respondents: Employers, State Child Support Agencies, and State
Workforce Agencies.
