# §302.85. Mandatory computerized support enforcement system.

- (a) **General.** The State plan shall provide that the State will have in effect a computerized support enforcement system:
  - (1) This guide is available on the OCSE Web site; and
  - (2) By October 1, 2000, which meets all the requirements of title IV-D of the Act enacted on or before the date of enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-193, in accordance with §§ [307.5](/cfr/45/307.5.md) and [307.11](/cfr/45/307.11.md) of this chapter and the OCSE guideline referenced in [paragraph (a)(1)](#a-1) of this section.
- (b) **Waiver—**
  - (1) **Request for waiver.** The State may apply for a waiver of any condition for initial approval of an APD in [§ 307.15(b)](/cfr/45/307.15.md?p=b) of this chapter, or any system functional requirement in [§ 307.10](/cfr/45/307.10.md) of this chapter, by the submission of a request for waiver under [§ 307.5](/cfr/45/307.5.md) of this chapter.
  - (2) **Basis for granting waiver.** The Secretary will grant a State a waiver if a State demonstrates that it has an alternative approach to APD requirements or an alternative system configuration, as defined in [§ 307.1](/cfr/45/307.1.md) of this chapter, that enables the State, in accordance with [part 305](/cfr/45/part305.md) of this chapter, to be in substantial compliance with all other requirements of this chapter; and either:
    - (i) The waiver request meets the criteria set forth in section 1115(c)(1), (2) and (3) of the Act; or
    - (ii) The State provides assurances, which are reflected in a record, that steps will be taken to otherwise improve the State's Child Support Enforcement program.
