INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
OCSE IM-95-01
March 27, 1995
TO: STATE AGENCIES ADMINISTERING CHILD SUPPORT
ENFORCEMENT PLANS UNDER TITLE IV-D OF THE SOCIAL
SECURITY ACT AND OTHER INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS
SUBJECT: Index of OCSE Action Transmittals (AT's), Information Memoranda (IM's),
and Policy Interpretation Questions (PIQ's)
CONTENT: This index includes all active OCSE Action Transmittals, Information
Memoranda, and Policy Interpretation Questions issued from October 1991 to the present.
IM-91-02 indexed all of the above documents that were issued since the beginning of the
program up to October 1991. This index is in two parts.
Part I has issuances (AT's, IM's, and PIQ's) arranged by subject matter. The Table of
Contents lists the subjects. Part II has the issuances arranged chronologically by type.
An Action Transmittal (AT) has its basis in federal law and regulation, and as the name
implies, instructs state child support enforcement programs on the actions they must take to
comply with new and amended federal laws.
An Information Memorandum (IM) provides state CSE agencies with information on
program practices that can be useful to program improvement.
A Policy Interpretation Question (PIQ) is an official OCSE reply to an inquiry concerning
application of policy submitted to a Regional Office by State CSE program. Although these
questions often arise from a specific practice or situation, the responses are an official
statement of OCSE policy on the issue.
