IV-D - Child Support and Establishment of Paternity
USC 42 655 - Payments to States= 66%*A + 80%*B + 90%*C + 66%*D

A = Operation of the plan approved under section 654
B = Automatic data processing and information retrieval system
C = Laboratory costs incurred in determining paternity
D = Alternative statewide system for which a waiver has been granted under section 652 (d)(3)

IV-D - Child Support and Establishment of Paternity
USC 42 658a - Incentive payments to States - ( A / B )*[ 2*( C + D + E ) + F ]*[ a + b + c + 75%*( d + e ) ]

A = Incentive payment pool ( $422 million in 2000 )
B = Sum total of [ 2*( C + D + E ) + F ]*[ a + b + c + 75%*( d + e ) ] calculations for each state
C = IV-A collections (TANF)
D = IV-E collections (Fostercare)
E = IV-D collections not required to be assigned (Interest)
F = IV-D collections minus E (Child Support)

Paternity establishment
a = 0 ( 0% < aa < 50% )
a = aa + 10% ( 50% < aa < 70% )
a = 2*aa - 60% ( 70% < aa < 80% )

aa = IV-D or statewide paternity establishment percentage (Table_58%)

Establishment of child support orders
b = 0 ( 0% < bb < 50% )
b = bb + 10% ( 50% < bb < 70% )
b = 2* bb - 60% ( 70% < bb < 80% )

bb = Percentage of the total number of cases in which there is a support order (Table_48 / Table_44)

Collections on current child support due
c = 0 ( 0% < cc < 40% )
c = cc + 10% ( 40% < cc < 70% )
c = 2*cc - 60% ( 70% < cc < 80% )

cc = Current support collected divided by the current support owed (Table_74 / Table_72)

Collections on child support arrearages
d = 0 ( 0% < dd < 40% )
d = dd + 10% ( 40% < dd < 70% )
d = 2*dd - 60% ( 70% < dd < 80% )

dd = Number of cases in which payments of past-due child support were received and distributed divided by the total number of cases in which there is past-due child support (Table_50 / Table_70)

Cost-effectiveness
e = 0 ( 0 < ee < 2 )
e = ee*20% ( 2 < ee < 5 )

ee = Amount collected divided by amount expended (Table_16)
