Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Information Comparison with Insurance Data.
    OMB No.: 0970-0342.

Description

    The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 amended Section 452 of the Social 
Security Act (the Act) to authorize the Secretary, through the Federal 
Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information 
concerning individuals owing past-due child support with information 
maintained by insurers (or their agents) concerning insurance claims, 
settlements, awards, and payments. Public Law 109-171, Sec.  7306. 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 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 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 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 by 
transmitting the Insurance Match Response Record to the state agencies 
responsible for collecting past-due child support from the individuals. 
The results of the comparison will be used by the state agencies to 
collect past-due child support from the insurance proceeds.

Respondents

    Insures or their agents, including the U.S. Department of Labor and 
State agencies administering Workers Compensation program, and the 
Insurance Services Office (ISO).
