Abstract

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) developed the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) Part A as a standard, required form for child support agencies to use to ensure dependent children are enrolled in available employer-sponsored medical coverage, if required by a support order. The NMSN Part A was most recently approved on 11/22/2022 and the current expiration date is11/30/2025. Currently, child support agencies download the paper NMSN form from the OCSS website, complete the form manually, and exchange NMSNs with employer partners by U.S. mail. Some states (e.g. TX) allow employers to retrieve the NMSN from their employer portal but there are not many states that do so. Currently, states send the completed NMSN to employers via U.S. mail, the employer responds to the state child support agencies by U.S. mail, and employers send the NMSN to their plan administrators, also by U.S. mail. OCSS developed an electronic option for child support agencies to exchange NMSNs with employer partners. To exchange that information, OCSS created the e-NMSN record specifications to accompany the currently approved NMSN Part A. With the electronic e-NMSN process, states, employers, and plan administrators may exchange the documents electronically without using the U.S. mail, thereby saving time and mailing costs. Note that use of the e-NMSN electronic reporting process will not change any of the data elements collected under the currently approved NMSN Part A. Adding the newly developed e-NMSN record specifications to the NMSN Part A allows states and tribes to program their systems to send the notice electronically to employers participating in e-NMSN. The electronic process reduces the time for states and tribes to send and employers to receive and process medical support orders allowing coverage for children to begin much sooner. This e-NMSN process is voluntary for all states, tribes, and employers. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

The Social Security Act requires individuals who represent a claimant before the agency and want to receive a fee for their services to obtain SSA’s authorization of the fee. One way to obtain the authorization is to submit the fee agreement to the agency either in writing or through using Form SSA-1693, Fee Agreement for Representation before the Social Security Administration. Since representatives currently use fee agreements which vary in length, content, and complexity, submission of a free-form fee agreement may cause delays in SSA’s review time. Therefore, SSA encourages respondents to use Form SSA-1693 to submit the information either using the paper form or the electronically submittable e1693 through SSA’s website. SSA uses the information from the SSA-1693 to review the request and authorize any fee to representatives who seek to charge and collect a fee from a claimant. The respondents are the representatives who help claimants through the application process, and the claimants who they represent. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to comply with the Final Rule for Changes to the Administrative Rules for Claimant Representation and Provisions for Direct Payment to Entities and due to the published increase in the fee cap for representatives.
