Paternity Establishment Percentage Performance Relief

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency on state child support program operations, the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) proposes to modify the Paternity Establishment Percentage (PEP) from the 90 percent performance threshold to 50 percent for Federal Fiscal Years (FFY) 2020 and 2021 in order for a state to avoid a financial penalty. OCSE also proposes to provide that adverse findings of data reliability audits of a state's paternity establishment data will not result in a financial penalty.
