The Child Support Enforcement Transmittal #1 - Initial Request form is the official document for initiating interstate child support case referrals under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. It is used when one state's child support agency needs another state or tribal jurisdiction to take action on a case where the non-custodial parent resides elsewhere. The form applies to both IV-D and non-IV-D cases, making it a central tool in cross-state child support administration.
The form captures comprehensive details about all parties involved, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and employer information for the petitioner, respondent, and any relevant caretakers. Dependent children are listed with their full names, dates of birth, and identifying information. A detailed checklist allows the initiating jurisdiction to specify the exact services being requested, such as locating the obligor, establishing paternity, enforcing current or past-due support, modifying an existing child support order, and collecting retroactive or medical support.
The responding jurisdiction uses the transmittal to route the case to its appropriate unit and provide the services identified in the checklist. A structured case summary section gives the initiating state space to provide additional facts that may affect how the responding jurisdiction handles the request. This process is designed to ensure that children receive timely and consistent support enforcement across state lines.
