Financial Institution Data Match
What is FIDM? > FIDM Overview
The FIDM
program stems from Federal legislation passed in 1996. Additional legislation
in 1998 simplified the process for multi-state financial institutions
doing business in more than one state. Although the procedures for
data match with single-state and multi-state financial institutions
differ, the requirements are identical. This data match requires state
child support agencies to enter into agreements with financial institutions
and to automate to the greatest extent possible.
