Introduction
A Non-IV-A applicant/custodial parent (CP) living out-of-state may
receive IV-D services from the Office of Recovery Services/Child Support
Services (ORS/CSS) by applying for IV-D services in another state (usually the
state s/he resides in), and that state determines a referral to Utah is
necessary, or by applying directly with CSS.
If the applicant/CP applies for IV-D services in another state,
the IV-D agency in that state will refer the case to the CSS Central Registry
Unit (CRU) using an approved federal intergovernmental form, “Child Support
Enforcement Transmittal #1 – Initial Request” or by referring the case
electronically through the Child Support Enforcement Network (CSENet). This type
of case is considered a two-party incoming intergovernmental case. To avoid any
potential issues with communication between the applicant/CP, the initiating
state, and the responding jurisdiction (i.e., Utah), the point of contact for
incoming interstate cases should be the initiating state. If the applicant/CP
reaches out to ORS/CSS for case information, refer the applicant/CP to the
child support services office in the state where they applied for services.
If the applicant/CP prefers to work directly with CSS, s/he must
complete an Application for Services Packet, which will be processed through CRUin order to determine which CSS team should work the case. This
type of request is not an incoming
intergovernmental case.
After the Non-IV-A case or incoming intergovernmental case is
processed and opened on ORSIS, CRU forwards the case to the appropriate CSS
team for action. When you receive an
incoming intergovernmental case, you must provide the same IV-D services on
this case as you would on an instate case.
