RE:  Federal Offset Fee Reimbursement for Fourth Quarter 2005

Dear Federal Offset Coordinators:

Enclosed is a summary report of Federal Offset Fee Reimbursements for the fourth quarter of Processing Year (PY) 2005. An offset fee is reimbursed when 1) a reversal is equal to the original offset amount, 2) multiple partial reversals equal the original offset amount, or 3) the partial reversal(s) plus the offset fee exceed the original offset amount. The Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) reimburses eligible offset fees to states on a quarterly basis.

The Federal Offset Fee Reimbursement detail report, which identifies the Social Security Number, Name, and Case ID for each eligible, reimbursed offset fee for your state, was sent via CONNECT:Direct on January 23, 2006. The corresponding service fees were returned by transfer of funds through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) on January 25, 2006. If you have any questions about this process or the enclosed report, please contact the Special Collections Unit at (202) 401-9389, ext. 6, or via email at scollections@acf.hhs.gov.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we work to improve the lives of our nation’s children.

Sincerely,

Donna J. Bonar
Associate Commissioner
For Office of Automation and Program Operations
Office of Child Support Enforcement
