To satisfy any current and past-due
support payments by an obligor, state child support enforcement
agencies are statutorily required to attach and seize an obligor’s
assets that are held in financial institutions. State child support
enforcement agencies are required to enter into data matching
agreements with financial institutions doing business in their
state to locate obligors’ accounts. State child support enforcement
agencies use information from the data match to help enforce the
support obligation. The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
operates the multistate financial institution data match program
through the OCSE’s Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS). OCSE
operates Federally Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) Levy. FAST
Levy is a secure and automated method of collecting and
disseminating electronic levy notices between state child support
enforcement agencies and financial institutions. FAST Levy helps
child support agencies secure financial assets more quickly and
efficiently.
The MSFIDM/FAST Levy
instruments underwent minor edits to replace the “Office of Child
Support enforcement (OCSE)” with the “Office of Child Support
Services (OCSS).” This adjustment constitutes a program change but
does not impact the burden. The average number of annual MSFIDM
respondents who submitted Election Forms to update transmitter or
contact information changed from 15 to 13 since the previous
approval. The slight adjustment resulting in a decrease of one hour
to the burden for submitting an Election Form; however, it did not
impact the total burden hours.
