Abstract: 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 Services (OCSS) operates the multistate financial institution data match program through the OCSS’s Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS). OCSS 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. OMB approved the MSFIDM/FAST Levy information collection on January 19, 2024, for three years. OCSS changed a contact email in the Multistate Financial Institution Data Match (MSFIDM) record specifications and requests OMB approval of these minor revisions as a non-substantive change.
