PART 1.0 Delete the State-Submitted SSN Field from the FCR Reconciliation File (FCR 1131)

1.1 Summary of Changes

The FCR is being modified to redefine the State-Submitted SSN field on the FCR Person Reconciliation Record as filler.

1.2 Background

When possible, the FCR returns the "State-Submitted SSN" on the FCR Person Reconciliation Record. The FCR is unable to return this field when a state changes a person on the FCR with Additional Names and Additional SSNs, and the state does not submit the Additional Names and Additional SSNs that are associated with the person for that case on every Change Transaction. When the Additional Names and the Additional SSNs are not sent, the FCR deletes the additional information that exists on the FCR for that person in that case. By removing this field from the reconciliation process, potential confusion over the meaning of this field has been eliminated.

1.3 Description of Changes

The FCR is being modified to redefine the State-Submitted SSN field (positions 49-57) as filler in the FCR Person Reconciliation Record (Record Identifier 'RS').

1.4 Impact on States

There is no impact on states that do not request the FCR Reconciliation File.

States that request the FCR Reconciliation File must adjust their State Case Registry system to recognize positions 49-57 of the FCR Person Reconciliation Record as filler.

1.5 Response Record Layouts

Appendix A, "FCR Person Reconciliation Record", provides the revised record layout for this change.

Refer to the following chart for the revised record layout:

Chart A-1, "FCR Person Reconciliation Record"

The material that is highlighted indicates the changes to the existing record layout.

PART 2.0 Give States the Option to Have CS Locates Return NDNH Data that Their Own State Submitted (FCR 1593)

2.1 Summary of Changes

FCR processing is being modified so IV-D case submitters can request the receipt of all or any of their own UI, QW and W-4 information in response to a CS-type Locate Request.

2.2 Background

Currently the FCR returns only other submitters' UI, QW and W-4 information in response to a IV-D case submitter's CS-type Locate.

IV-D case submitters can now request the receipt of all or any of their own UI, QW and W-4 information in response to their CS-type Locate Requests. This preference is indicated on a form similar to that used by IV-D case submitters to request the receipt of all or any of their own UI, QW and W-4 information in an FCR-to-NDNH Proactive Match or from an NDNH-to-FCR Proactive Match.

The UI, QW and W-4 information that a IV-D case submitter receives in response to a CS-type Locate Request will be contained on the existing FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier = 'FN', NDNH Match Type = 'L').

2.3 Description of Changes

States request the receipt of all or any of their own UI, QW and W-4 information in response to a CS-type Locate Request by submitting to OCSE the "FCR Option to Receive NDNH CS-Locate Data Registration Form", which is shown in Figure B-1, "FCR Option to Receive NDNH CS-Locate Data Registration Form." States that do not want to receive this information should not submit this form. The descriptive text and form in Appendix B, "FCR Option to Receive NDNH CS-Locate Data Registration Form", will be included in a subsequent FCR Interface Guidance Document (IGD) update.

2.4 Impact on States

This change does not require programming changes by states. Any additional UI, QW or W-4 records will be returned in the record format specified above.

Table of Contents

PART 3.0 Add an Additional DoD Code of 'P' for Pension/Retired Military Personnel (FCR 1561)

3.1 Summary of Changes

The NDNH is being modified to accept a code of 'P' on an NDNH QW record from the Department of Defense to designate pensions for retired military or Coast Guard personnel. This value will be returned on FCR/NDNH Locates and Proactive Matches in the DoD Agency Status Indicator field of the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record.

3.2 Background

Currently the NDNH receives only codes 'A', 'C', and 'R' from the Department of Defense to designate quarterly wages as being for active duty, civilian, or reserve personnel. There is no provision for retired military or Coast Guard personnel.

The DoD will submit pension payments on its retired personnel as a QW submission because the payments are considered "reduced pay for reduced services". In order to distinguish the pension records from the active duty, civilian, or reserve records, the new code 'P' has been established.

3.3 Description of Changes

A new value ('P') is being added to the list of possible codes that may be returned in the DoD Agency Status Indicator field (position 740 of the redefined QW portion) in the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN'). Because the new value affects only QW, no change is being made to the redefined W-4 and UI portions of the record.

3.4 Impact on States

State systems must be able to accept a new value ('P') in the DoD Agency Status Indicator field (position 740 of the redefined QW portion) of the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN').

3.5 Response Record Layout

Appendix A, "Response Record Layout", provides the states with the revised record layout for this change. The revision is an additional value and explanation of that value in the "Comments" cell of the DoD Agency Status Indicator field in the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record.

Refer to the following chart for the revised record layout:

Chart C-1, "FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record"

The material that is highlighted indicates the change to the existing record layout.

B. FCR OPTION TO RECEIVE NDNH CS-LOCATE DATA REGISTRATION FORM

The FCR normally filters NDNH information that is sent as a result of an NDNH CS-Locate Response by not sending to a state any records that the state submitted to the NDNH. The state may choose to remove this filtering and receive from the locate process all appropriate NDNH records, including those records that the state sent to the NDNH. States may opt to receive W-4 only, QW only, UI only, or any combination, or all of the W-4, QW and UI records that were submitted by their state. To exercise this option, the state should complete and send the "FCR Option to Receive NDNH CS-Locate Data Registration Form", which is shown in Figure B-1, to:

Department of Health and Human Services
Administration for Children and Families
Office of Child Support Enforcement
Federal Parent Locator Service
2nd Floor East
370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20447

States may fax the form to Joan O'Connor at 202-401-5647.
