SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: The EDE provides a centralized, secure system for authorized users in state CSAs to electronically exchange child support and spousal support case information with other state child support agencies. EDE benefits state CSAs by reducing delays, costs, and barriers associated with interstate case processing. It increases state collections, improves document security, standardizes data sharing, increases state participation, and improves case processing, resulting in better overall child and spousal support outcomes. OCSE made minor updates to the Portal screens to enhance functionality.
