The Insurance Match program is a cooperative effort between states, insurers, and the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to help state child support agencies collect past-due child support from noncustodial parents. Using an efficient, secure, and cost-effective automated matching process, OCSE works with participating insurers to help states collect past-due support for families by comparing noncustodial parents active on the OCSE Debtor File to individuals eligible to receive a payment from an insurance claim, settlement, award, or payment (hereinafter, “claim”). State and insurer participation in the Insurance Match program is voluntary.

There was a burden hour adjustment from the previous approval, from 168 hours to 2102 hours. This adjustment is due to the estimated increase in the number of new Insurance Match program respondents from 28 to 111. The average burden hour has reduced due to an increase in technology allowing respondents to gather and share electronic data quickly. Current estimates are reduced to an average of 5 minutes for automated electronic reporting and 6 minutes for manual reporting through the Child Support Portal. Although technology has enhanced the respondent’s ability to gather and share data quickly, the typical input provided has not been impacted. The OCSE INSURANCE MATCH STANDARD INPUT FILE DETAIL RECORD (SIF) was updated to incorporate the ‘Plain Language’ principals. These updates made the document visually inviting, logically organized, and understandable on the first reading. This resulted in improved customer satisfaction; allowing customers to find what is need faster and easier. Changes were made to standardize the field definitions and include additional values in one field; the Insurance Product Claim Type. This provides the ability to increase the number of respondents and properly identify insurance claim types and will have no impact on the individual respondent’s burden. Three optional fields were added to existing filler fields: Claim Adjuster Name, Claim Adjuster Phone, and National Association of Insurance Commissioners NAIC code. These were added to capture existing data ISO shares with OCSE, which other respondents rarely use. Adding these have a minimal impact that it is unmeasurable as respondents are not required to provide this information. The Insurance Match program is now supporting respondents (other than ISO) opting to be a matching partner. Matching partners match noncustodial parents active on the Debtor File to their claimants and return matches to OCSE using the SIF record. The Debtor File Layout displaying records sent to matching partners is now included in the SIF. It is a standard, fixed-format file used to send individuals owing a child support debt to matching partners.
