Terms of Clearance: Minor revisions were made to the summary and supporting statement to reflect the fact that participation in the insurance match is voluntary for both States and insurers. ACF met appropriate guidelines required by the Privacy Act, which requires agencies collecting Personal Identifying Information (PII) to provide notice in the Federal Register when operating a “system of records” to ensure the public knows how the agency is using such information. Additionally, ACF/HHS conducted an E-Gov Act Privacy Impact Assessment for its Location and Collection system of records, OMB. No. 0970-016, addressing the use of the offset file for the purpose of collecting past-due child support. The PIA is being updated to add the insurance match for the same purpose.

Abstract: The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 amended Section 452 of the Social Security Act (the Act) to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information concerning individuals owing past-due child support with information maintained by insurance companies (or their agents) concerning insurance claims, settlements, awards, and payments. The Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) operates the FPLS in accordance with section 453(a)(1) of the Act. The Federal Case Registry of Child Support Orders (FCR) is maintained in the FPLS and contains all State caseloads in accordance with section 453(h)(1) of the Act. At the option of an insurer, the comparison may be accomplished by either of the following methods: under the first method, an insurer or the insurer’s agent will submit to OCSE information concerning claims, settlements, awards, and payments. OCSE will then compare that information with information pertaining to individuals owing past-due support; under the second method, OCSE will furnish to the insurer or the insurer’s agent a file containing information pertaining to individuals owing past-due support. The insurer or the insurer’s agent will then compare that information with information pertaining to claims, settlements, awards, and payments. The insurer will furnish the information resulting from the comparison to OCSE. On a daily basis, OCSE will furnish the results of the comparison to the State CSE agencies responsible for collecting the past-due child support by transmitting the Insurance Match Response Record via the FCR. The results of the comparison will be used by the State agencies to collect past-due child support from the insurance proceeds. This match is optional for both States and insurers or their agents.
