#0970-0342; Expires 1/31/2021).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 amended Section 452 
of the Social Security 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. The two options to 
participate in the Information Comparison with Insurance Data program 
are (1) insurers submit information concerning claims, settlements, 
awards, and payments to the federal OCSE. OCSE compares it to 
information pertaining to parents who owe past-due support. (2) OCSE 
will send a file containing information about parents who owe past-due 
support to the insurer, or their agent, to compare with their claims, 
settlements, awards, and payments. The insurer or their agent sends any 
resulting insurance data matches to OCSE. On a daily basis, OCSE sends 
the results of the insurance data match in an ``Insurance Match 
Response Record'' to child support agencies responsible for collecting 
past-due support. The child support agencies use the insurance data 
matches to collect past-due support from the insurance proceeds.
    Respondents: Insurers or their agents, including the U.S. 
Department of Labor and state agencies administering workers' 
compensation programs, and the Insurance Services Office.
