section and to obtain, after the close of the operation of the Initiative under this section, such an audit and make it public within the State on a timely basis and provide a copy to the Secretary within 80 days after its completion. (2) The program description provided under paragraph (I)(A) shall describe in detail how the proposed Initiative will affect children and families, with specific reference to the principles for calculating benefits and establishing and enforcing child support obligations. The description shall also include estimates of cost and program effects and provide other relevant information necessary for the Secretary to determine whether the financial well-being of children and their families will be adversely affected by the operation of the Initiative. (b) The Child Support Initiative proposed by the State of Wisconsin as detailed in the program description submitted to the Secretary, and the related requested waivers, shall become effective within 120 days after its submission unless the Secretary determines that the financial well-being of children in the State will be adversely affected by the Initiative. The Secretary shall notify the State in writing that, effective with the beginning of the following quarter (or of such later quarter as the State may select), the State may operate its Child Support Initiative instead of its programs of aid to families with dependent children (or, if the State had so requested, instead of its program of aid to dependent children in single-parent families) and child support enforcement in such county or counties, or on a statewide basis, as the State has indicated in its request. Except as specifically provided in subsection (c), no amount will be payable for any quarter under section 403(a) (or under section 403(a) with respect to single-parent families, if the State had so requested), 455(a), or 458 of the Social Security Act with respect to such county or counties in which the Initiative is in effect. (c)(1) For each quarter during which such program is in effect throughout the State, the Secretary will pay to the State the sum of its proportionate share (as defined in paragraph (4)(A)) of each of the following: (A) the amount advanced by the Secretary to all the other States (as defined in section 1101(a) of the Social Security Act) for such quarter with respect to section 403(a)(1) and (2) of such Act; (B) the amount so advanced by the Secretary with respect to section 403(a)(3) of such Act; (C) the amount so advanced by the Secretary with respect to ' section 455(a) of such Act; and (D) the amount so advanced by the Secretary with respect to section 458(a) of such Act, reduced by so much of its proportionate share of support collections on behalf of individuals receiving aid to families with dependent children (as defined in paragraph (4)(B)) as would have been credited to the Federal Government under section 457(b) of such Act had such collections been made in the last quarter of fiscal year 1986. (2) If in any quarter the Initiative approved under this section is in operation in fewer than all the counties in the State, the amount paid to the State with respect to the counties to which the waiver under subsection (a) applies shall equal (in lieu of the amount specified in paragraph (1)) the proportionate share with respect to the counties in which the Initiative is operated (as defined in paragraph (5)(A)) of the amount advanced to the State under the

Effective date.
