Effective September 1, 2005, the Child Support Enforcement Manual (CSEM) is hereby obsolete and replaced with the Child Support Program Manual (CSPM). In addition to forms and other documents, the CSPM contains all Child Support Program rules from the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) and, therefore, is a rule-based manual.
The OAC organizes rules into two levels: principle and supplemental. A principle rule is one which contains the overarching authority and content of a particular topic, such as "Default." Supplemental rules, such as "Default Investigation" serve to further refine a principle rule. Not every principle rule will have a supplemental rule because, in some cases, no further refinement is needed. There may also be occasions when there will be a supplemental rule but no principle rule. These exceptions occur for several reasons, such as when a new law is passed which obsoletes the principle rule but not the supplemental rule.
The Child Support Program rules are Ohio Administrative Code rules and therefore use the OAC numbering convention. Here is an example:
The rule numbers provide identifying information about the rule. In this example, the "5101" denotes the Department (ODJFS); the "12" designates the Division (Child Support); the "45" indicates the Chapter (Support Establishment); the "05" identifies the Principle Rule (Administrative Support Order Process); and the ".1" marks this rule as a Supplemental Rule (Scheduling the Administrative Support Hearing).
The CSPM contains all the child support rules that are currently in effect in 5101:1 (Public Assistance Division) and 5101:12 (Child Support Division). As 5101:1 rules are rescinded and replaced with 5101:12 rules, they will be removed from the CSPM.
Effective with this CSPMTL, all previously issued Child Support Enforcement Manual Transmittal Letters (CSEMTL) are obsolete and can be found in the CSPM section entitled "Obsolete CSEMTLs." The Child Support Enforcement Informational and Instructional Memorandums (CSEIIM) are incorporated in the CSPM.
As you know, all ODJFS manuals have been issued in electronic format for several years. The CSPM will likewise be issued in electronic format for internet users at the following location:
Individuals who desire a paper copy of the CSPMTL may order it through Legal/Policy Central (LPC) on the ODJFS website. The "Calendar" heading will take you to a calendar where you can click on the date that displays a CSPMTL. The date will take you to a page that provides information regarding the unit cost for the CSPMTL. The unit cost does not include shipping costs.
When you access the electronic CSPM you will see the CSPM Table of Contents is organized as follows:
Each category will take you to a sub-category. For example, when you click on the CSPM Transmittal Letters link, it will take you to links for the individual CSPMTLs organized by number; when you click on Child Support Program Rules, it will take you to chapters currently in use in the OAC and CSPM and, when you click on a specific chapter, it will take you to the individual rules that are currently in effect within that chapter. The Archived Documents hyperlink will take you to obsolete CSEIIMs and CSEMTLs and, eventually, to rescinded rules.
The CSPM will be organized in a way consistent with most other electronic manuals published by ODJFS. Whereas the CSEM was organized by sections (ex. CSE.1000 "Title IV-D Child Support Program," CSE.2000 "Establishment of the Support Order," etc.), the CSPM will be organized according to chapters, as outlined below:
When you review the electronic CSPM you will note that some of the chapters listed in this Manual Transmittal Letter are not displayed on the electronic CSPM. An example of this is 5101:12-20 "Location." This is because the Child Support rules regarding "Location" have not yet been transitioned from 5101:1 rules to 5101:12 rules. As these rules are reviewed, updated, and approved, they will be moved to the appropriate 5101:12 chapters. Future CSPMTLs will notify you of these occurrences.
The following table lists all of the current Child Support Program rules. You will see the table contains rules from 5101:1 as well as the rules already in 5101:12.
