                     CHILD SUPPORT ASSISTANCE BILL

  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a letter from 
the National Child Support Enforcement Association in support of the 
Child Support Assistance Act of 2015 be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                            National Child Support


                                      Enforcement Association,

                                               September 17, 2015.
     Hon. Patrick Toomey,
     Russell Senate Office Building,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Senator Toomey: The National Child Support Enforcement 
     Association (NCSEA) is pleased to support your bill, the 
     Child Support Assistance Act of 2015. Your bill will make 
     even more efficient and effective the collection and 
     distribution of child support payments to the custodial 
     family. The targeted language of the measure strikes a 
     provision of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) which 
     requires a child support agency to provide 10-day notice by 
     certified or registered mail to the non-custodial parent 
     (NCP) to advise him or her that a consumer report will be 
     requested to verify income and location of employment.
       The custodial and non-custodial parent both continue to 
     have a full range of opportunities throughout the legal 
     process to contest and correct information, including 
     information provided by a consumer report. This technical 
     change affecting only child support will further streamline 
     the administration of the program to ensure that payments are 
     made to the family as quickly as possible.
       As you know, the House Financial Services Committee passed 
     a companion bill (H.R. 2091) earlier this year by an 
     overwhelming bipartisan vote of 56-2.
       As your bill moves through the legislative process, we 
     stand ready to work with you to ensure its enactment into 
     law, including providing additional comments from our members 
     if questions arise about the effect of the bill's language 
     and impact.
       Thank you for your leadership on this issue. If you have 
     any questions, please contact me or Tom Joseph, NCSEA 
     Washington Representative at [email protected].
           Sincerely,
                                                 Ann Marie Ruskin,
     Interim Executive Director.
