How does DCS provide information to another jurisdiction in an intergovernmental case?

(1) The division of child support (DCS) uses federally approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases, unless a country has provided alternative forms as part of its chapter in A Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries.
(2) DCS uses electronic means to transmit these forms unless a paper version is required under the laws of Washington State or the other jurisdiction.
(3) For intergovernmental cases, DCS transmits requests for information and provides requested information electronically to the greatest extent possible.
(4) When using a paper version of a form, DCS provides one complete set of required documents unless the laws of the responding jurisdiction require multiple copies.
(5) When the child support agency of a tribe or another state or country requests any order or payment record information in order to perform a controlling order determination and reconciliation of arrearages, DCS provides that information within thirty working days of a request, or notifies the state IV-D agency when the information will be provided.
(6) DCS notifies the other agency within ten working days of receipt of new information on the case.
