Title: Child Support Noncustodial 

Parent Employment Demonstration 

(CSPED). 

OMB No.: 0970–NEW. 

Description: 

The Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE) within the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) is proposing data 

collection activity as part of the Child 

Support Noncustodial Parent 

Employment Demonstration (CSPED). In 

October 2012, OCSE issued grants to 

eight state child support agencies to 

provide employment, parenting, and 

child support services to non-custodial 

parents who are having difficulty 

meeting their child support obligation. 

The overall objective of the CSPED 

evaluation is to document and evaluate 

the effectiveness of the approaches 

taken by these eight CSPED grantees. 

This evaluation will yield information 

about effective strategies for improving 

child support payments by providing 

non-custodial parents employment and 

other services through child support 

programs. It will generate extensive 

information on how these programs 

operated, what they cost, the effects the 

programs had, and whether the benefits 

of the programs exceed their costs. The 

information gathered will be critical to 

informing decisions related to future 

investments in child support-led 

employment-focused programs for noncustodial parents who have difficulty 

meeting their child support obligations. 

The CSPED evaluation will include 

the following two interconnected 

components or ‘‘studies’’: 

1. Implementation and Cost Study.
