Abstract
This final rule implements provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), related to child support enforcement program automation. Under PRWORA, States must have in effect a statewide automated data processing and information retrieval system which by October 1, 1997, meets all the requirements of title IV-D of the Social Security Act enacted on or before the date of enactment of the Family Support Act of 1988, and by October 1, 2000, meets all the title IV-D requirements enacted under PRWORA. The law further provides that the October 1, 2000, deadline for systems enhancements will be delayed if HHS does not issue final regulations by August 22, 1998.
