Intergovernmental Child Support Enforcement Forms

States are required to use the federally approved standard intergovernmental forms in intergovernmental actions.  The OCSS intergovernmental forms matrix (PDF) specifies which forms to use according to the specific action requested in the case.

States need to use the English forms for transmitting information. We have four Spanish forms available for reference. These are the most commonly used forms for customers.

(For processing international cases under the Hague Convention, please see alternative forms on the OCSS Hague Convention forms webpage. For processing cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries that are not Hague countries, see the appropriate Caseworker Guide on the International webpage.)
