Notes
- Under a new law
signed by President Clinton in 1998, states that are not ready to
be certified by the end of the federal fiscal year can choose a penalty
of a percentage reduction in their federal child support funds. These
states are eligible for a waiver of the penalty if analysis by an
on-site certification review determines that the state is in compliance
with the Family Support Act of 1988 system certification requirements.
These states chose the penalty of a percentage reduction in federal
child support funds or could risk losing all federal child support
funds.
- As this state
does not have a system that meets Family Support Act certification
requirements and has not opted for the alternative penalty, it is
now subject to losing all its federal child support funds. A hearing
will be conducted for the state before HHS would terminate funding.
