The current OMB approval expires July 31, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


[top] Description: The NDNH is a federally mandated repository of employment and wage information. The information maintained in the NDNH is collected electronically and used for authorized purposes. State child support agencies use the NDNH information to locate a parent living or working in a different state and to take appropriate interstate actions to establish, modify, or enforce a child support order. Specific state and federal agencies also use NDNH information for authorized purposes to help administer certain programs, prevent overpayments, detect fraud, assess benefits, and recover funds, as provided under 42 U.S.C. 653(i)(1). OCSE changed the unconventional date format to a standard format in the NDNH record specifications and changed the Multistate Employer Registration Form to revise language, page 30234 update links, and remove the option to submit it by mail.

Respondents: Employers, State Child Support Agencies, and State Workforce Agencies.
