Administration for Children and Families Requests Public Comments

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting public comments on a proposed information collection as part of the Safe Access for Victims’ Economic Security (SAVES) Demonstration research on safety in the child support program. The SAVES Center, responsible for providing technical assistance and conducting evaluation for SAVES, will conduct one-time data collection activities with domestic violence (DV) survivors, advocates, and child support staff to understand their experiences and to identify barriers and promising practices related to safety in the child support system. These activities are part of ACF’s efforts to improve safety in the child support program under SAVES.

The Department specifically requests comments on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.

 Comments are due April 3, 2026. Read the notice here: Federal Register.
