2. UNDERSTANDING THE CS34/35

3. What are the CS34/35 Reports? ■ DCSS is required to report child support collections, distributions and undistributed collections (UDC) by submitting the OCSE-34A report to the federal government on a quarterly basis. ■ The CS34/35 reports are the monthly, county level equivalent of the quarterly OCSE-34A.

4. Definitions ■ Collections Received – Any amount received and reasonably identifiable as a child support collection under Title IV-D is reported even if an individual amount cannot be immediately associated with a specific Title IV-D case. ■ Collections Distributed and Disbursed – Distribution is the identification and allocation of a support collection to current and past due support, as applicable, to a specific case or individual. Disbursement is the actual process of dispensing or paying out the collection.

5. CS34 & CS35 Reports There are three reports: ■ Monthly Report of Collections and Distributions (CS34 Part 1) ■ Itemized Undistributed Collections (CS34 Part 2) ■ Supplement to the CS34 Monthly Report of Collections and Distributions (CS35)

Distributed Collections By Payment Source (CS34 Part 1 Lines 2a through 2h and CS35 Lines 1 through 6) Tracking distributed collections by payment source can help indentify performance obstacles and reveal trends to assist with performance planning. Undistributed Collections (UDC) Only distributed collections count toward performance. Managing/tracking UDC amounts ensures collections move out of UDC timely. Adjusted County Share backup detail on Fund Transfer ReportsProvide detail backup for payment due to counties from DCSS for Adjusted County Share (prior to changes outline in CSSIN 11-06), Foster Care Excess and Pass On.
