Dear Colleague:
States are required to submit their Annual Certification Letter to OCSS by September 30. The letter verifies that your information meets legal requirements for federal offset, passport denial, multistate financial institution data match, and federal insurance match. It also indicates your preferences for mailing pre-offset notices, holding periods, and contact information.
The attachment requires your signature as IV-D director (or your designee). Please send the signed letter to the Federal Collection and Enforcement team at scollections@acf.hhs.gov no later than September 30, 2024.
In addition to sending your certification letter by email, this year we will offer two methods to submit via the OCSS Child Support Portal. We’ll provide instructions for these options in a separate correspondence to state directors.
Thank you for your continued commitment to our nation’s children.
Sincerely,
Tanguler Gray
Commissioner
Office of Child Support Services
