1.0 IMPLEMENT PROACTIVE MATCHING WITH SVES (OCSE Ref #2180)

1.1 Summary of Changes

The Federal Case Registry (FCR) is being enhanced to allow States the option to receive, through the proactive matching process, Title II, Title XVI and Prisoner Locate data from SVES (State Verification Exchange System) for persons in IV-D cases in which no family violence is indicated.

1.2 Background

As part of the Continuous Service Improvement (CSI) Locate Sources Initiative, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) is researching ways of improving and expanding locate information provided by the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS). States have expressed an interest in receiving proactive matches from SVES, which is expected to help States learn more quickly about changes in benefits and eligibility for Social Security Administration (SSA) that affect child support case participants.

1.3 Description of Changes

A SVES State will have the option to receive Title II, Title XVI and Prisoner Locate Responses from the new SVES Proactive Match interface. When a Person Add or Person Change record is received by the FCR, the new interface will create a SVES Proactive Match Request for a person with a verified Social Security number (SSN) in a IV-D case with no family violence indicated, when the participant type is 'PF' (Putative Father) or 'NP' (Non-custodial Parent). The State will have the option to also receive SVES Proactive Matches for IV-D case participant types 'CP' (Custodial Party) and/or 'CH' (Child). 'CH' Participant Types will only be sent to SVES Title II for matching. All other participant types will be sent to SVES for Title II, Title XVI, and Prisoner matching.

The FCR will return only positive SVES Proactive Matches in SVES response record formats (Record Identifier 'FK') with address and benefit information. States will receive FCR SVES Title II (E05), Title XVI (E06), and/or Prisoner (E07) Locate Response Records.

The FCR will not return a negative locate response, FCR SVES Not Found Response (E10), in the SVES Proactive Match process.

Two new fields will be added to the SVES response records in filler areas: SVES Match Type and Participant Type. The SVES Match Type field will be added to position 3. It will contain a value of 'P' to indicate that the response is a result of a SVES Proactive Match Request or a value of 'L' when the response is the result of a SVES Locate Request. The Participant Type field will be added to positions 911-912. The Participant Type field will be present on SVES Proactive Matches. For Locate Requests, the Participant Type field will contain spaces.

A SVES State can continue to request a SVES Locate if the Locate Request Type is 'CS' (Child Support Request for IV-D purposes), and the Locate Source field contains 'ALL' or 'E01' (SSA) in the FCR Input Person/Locate Request Record. The SVES Proactive Match Request will be suppressed if a State requests a SVES Locate and the request is made in conjunction with an Add or Change Person transaction.

1.4 Impact on States

States that choose to participate in the SVES Proactive Matching must also elect to receive SVES Locates. They must also be able to receive and process the FCR SVES (Record Identifier 'FK') Title II (E05), Title XVI (E06), Prisoner (E07), and Not Found (E10) Locate Response Records.

SVES Proactive Matching uses the same response record layouts as SVES Locate (Record Identifier 'FK'). However, two new fields (SVES Match Type and Participant Type) have been added to the filler area to identify the response as a SVES Proactive Match, and to identify the participant.

To participate, States must complete the "FCR State Verification and Exchange System (SVES) Locate and Proactive Match Election Form". This form is divided into two sections:

  • SVES Locate Search Option, and
  • SVES Proactive Match Search Option.

The form is displayed in Figure 1-1 on the next page.

States that have not participated in the locate search option before must complete the entire form and indicate when they will be ready to receive SVES Locate Responses. States currently accepting SVES locate search records must complete the proactive match section of the form to participate in SVES Proactive Matching.

When a State is ready to begin accepting SVES Proactive Matches, the completed form must be sent to the FCR Options Coordinator, as indicated below. Proactive matching will take effect as soon as the form is entered into the FCR.

The completed form should be mailed to:

2.0 FILTER NEGATIVE LOCATE RESPONSES (OCSE REF #2182)

2.1 Summary of Changes

The FCR is being modified to provide States with the option to suppress negative (no record found) locate responses for Locate Response Type 'CS' (Child Support Request for IV-D purposes). The enhancement also provides a further option to override the suppression if a negative response is the last response of a group, so that a Locate Closed Indicator can be returned.

2.2 Background

In response to requests from States, this enhancement will reduce the number of negative locate responses being returned to States. This change will result in reduced State CPU processing time and worker alerts, thereby saving workers time, since they will not have to review old data.

2.3 Description of Changes

Filtering locate responses will apply only to Locate Request Type 'CS' (Child Support Request for IV-D purposes). All other Locate Request types, (AD – Adoption/Foster Care, CV – Custody and Visitation, LC – Locate Only, and PK – Parental Kidnapping), will not be suppressed.

A State must choose to suppress negative locate responses by completing the "Filter Negative Locate Responses Election Form", shown in Figure 2-1. When a State elects to suppress negative locate responses, the following locate responses will not be returned to the State:

  • FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN') withFCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN') with
    • NDNH Match Type 'L' (NDNH Locate Request Response),
    • Locate Source Response Agency Code 'H01', and
    • Locate Response Code '10' (NDNH does not have the SSN on file, or the submitter of this CS-type Locate Request provided the only information on file for the SSN and has not requested its return).
  • FCR SVES Not Found Response Record (Record Identifier 'FK') with
    • Locate Source Response Agency Code 'E10', and
    • Locate Response Code '10' (The Locate source does not have the SSN on file).
  • FCR Locate Response Record (Record Identifier 'FF'):
    • Locate Response Code '10' (The Locate source does not have the SSN on file) for Locate Source Response Agency Codes: A01 (DoD), A02 (FBI), A03 (NSA), C01 (IRS non-1099), E01 (SSA), and F01 (DVA).
    • Locate Response Code '22' (No record of earning) for Locate Source Response Agency Code E01 (SSA).

The following Locate Response codes will still be returned to the submitter for all Locate Sources:

  • '06' (FCR case type change from IV-D to Non IV-D, person deleted from case or case closed), and
  • '39' (disclosure prohibited – person is associated with family violence)

The FCR will offer States an additional option to continue to receive a negative locate response record if it is the last locate response for a Locate Request. Under these circumstances, the State will receive the Locate Closed Indicator (position 353) on the last negative Locate Response.

2.4 Impact on States

To filter negative Locate Responses or to receive the Locate Closed Indicator, States must complete the "Filter Negative Locate Responses Election Form" shown in Figure 2-1.

States that use the Locate Closed Indicator field in processing responses should elect to continue receiving this field on a negative Locate Response. Otherwise, they will not receive the Locate Closed Indicator, thus impacting their response processing.

States must complete the form and choose one or both of the options presented. Filtering will take effect as soon as the form is entered into the FCR.

The completed form should be mailed to:

Joan O'Connor
Department of Health and Human Services
Administration for Children and Families
Office of Child Support Enforcement
Federal Parent Locator Service, 4th floor
370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W.
Washington, DC 20447

Forms may also be faxed to Joan O'Connor at 202-401-5553 or 202-401-5647.

Table of Contents

3.0 PROVIDE DMDC SPONSOR INFORMATION (OCSE REF #2191)

3.1 Summary of Changes

The FCR-DMDC Match process is being modified to return information relating to the sponsor of the child if the sponsor is coded as 'Other' (that is, not 'CP', 'NCP' or 'PF').

3.2 Background

This change is being made to provide additional identifying information relating to the child's medical coverage sponsor when the sponsor has been identified as 'Other'. Without more meaningful information, the responses with a sponsor code of 'Other' are of limited value.

3.3 Description of Changes

When the FCR-DMDC Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FW'), CH Medical Coverage Sponsor Code (position 137) contains a '4' (Other), a new field labeled CH Sponsor Relationship Code (position 521), will contain a code to describe the relationship of the child to the sponsor. Otherwise, the field contains spaces. The CH Sponsor Relationship Code values are:

  1. Child
  2. Foster Child
  3. Pre-Adoptive Child
  4. Ward
  5. Stepchild
  6. Self (an adult child who is in the military)
  7. Spouse (an adult child who is married to a military member)
  8. Other/Unknown

When the CH Sponsor Relationship Code (position 521) contains either a '1' (Child), '2' (Foster Child), '3' (Pre-Adoptive Child), or '4' (Ward), the following additional new fields will also be provided:

  • CH Sponsor SSN (position 522-530)
  • CH Sponsor Last Name (position 531-560)
  • CH Sponsor First Name (position 561-576)
  • CH Sponsor Middle Name (position 577-592)
  • CH Sponsor Last Name Suffix (position 593-596)

3.4 Impact on States

The FCR will return the specified additional information on sponsors. Because the new fields will be located in existing filler areas, State programming changes are not required until States are ready to accept the new data elements. The file record length is not changing.

3.5 Output Record Specification

Refer to Chart A-5, "FCR DMDC Proactive Match Response Record", for the revised record layout for this change. The material that is highlighted indicates the changes to the existing record layout.

4.0 RETURN ERROR/WARNING CODES FOR 'AD', 'PK', AND 'CV' LOCATE TYPES THAT INCLUDE NSA (OCSE REF #2227)

4.1 Summary of Changes

The FCR is being modified to return an appropriate error or warning message when 'AD' (Adoption/Foster Care), 'PK' (Parental Kidnapping), and 'CV' (Custody and Visitation) Locates include a request for NSA (National Security Agency).

4.2 Background

NSA Locate Requests were implemented as part of Release 06-01. However, Locate Requests for types 'AD', 'PK', and 'CV' cannot be sent to NSA.

4.3 Description of Changes

If NSA is requested along with one or more agencies on a Locate Request for request types 'AD', 'PK', or 'CV', warning code 'LW002' (Locate Source Not Available for Locate Request Type) will be returned to the State.

If 'ALL' is the requested agency for request types 'AD', 'PK', or 'CV', warning code 'LW002' will be returned to the State.

If NSA is the only agency requested, error code 'TE027' (Invalid Locate Source Code) will be returned to the State and the Locate request transaction will be rejected.

4.4 Impact on States

States will receive the appropriate error or warning code when NSA is part of a Locate Request for 'AD', 'PK', or 'CV'.

Chart 4-1, "FCR Record Error and Warning Codes", displays the warning and error codes 'LW002' and 'TE027' and includes the additional meanings relating to NSA.

CHART 4-1: FCR RECORD ERROR AND WARNING CODES
Error Code Record Type Error Message and Description
LW002 FP Locate Source not available for Locate Request Type.

Locate Source Code 'C01' (IRS) is not returned when the Locate Request Type is 'AD', 'CV', 'LC' or 'PK' and Locate Source 1 is equal to 'ALL'.

Locate Source Code 'A03' (NSA) is not returned when the Locate Request type is 'AD', 'CV' or 'PK' and Locate Source 1 is equal to 'ALL' or if 'A03' is present in one of the Locate Source fields.
TE027 FP Invalid Locate Source Code.
An exception to one of the following conditions was found:
  • If the Locate Request Type is equal to 'AD', 'CV', 'LC' or 'PK', the Locate Source Code cannot equal 'C01'.
  • If the Locate Request Type is equal to 'AD', 'CV', or 'PK', and Locate Sources 2 through 8 are blank, Locate Source 1 cannot equal 'A03' (NSA).
  • Locate Source 1 must be equal to 'ALL', 'A01', 'A02', 'A03, 'C01', 'E01', 'F01', 'H01' or spaces.
  • Locate Source 2 through Locate Source 8 must be equal to 'A01', 'A02', 'A03, 'C01', 'E01', 'F01', 'H01' or spaces.
Note: This rejects the invalid Locate Source only. If other valid actions (e.g., add the person to the case or initiate a Locate for other sources requested) can be taken on the record, processing will continue

4.5 Output Record Specification

There are no output record changes.

5.0 RETURN ALTERNATE NDNH SSN/NAME VALIDATION CODES (OCSE REF #2228)

5.1 Summary of Changes

The FCR NDNH Locate and Proactive Match processes are being modified to return records that contain a code indicating that the SSN/Name combination was not verified at SSA, but successfully passed a name matching routine used by NDNH.

5.2 Background

Previously, unverified NDNH records (W-4, QW, and UI) were not used by the FCR NDNH Locate or Proactive Match processes. These unverified NDNH records are now being processed through a name-matching routine. Records that match SSA on the SSN, using a name derived by the name-matching routine, are given a confidence score. Records with high confidence scores will now be used for FCR NDNH Locate and Proactive Matching.

5.3 Description of Changes

The NDNH unverified file is being added to the FCR NDNH Locate and Proactive Matching processes. Unverified records with a confidence score matching or exceeding a specified threshold will be returned on a Locate or Proactive Match Response. A Locate Response Code of '48' (Unverified SSN/Name Combination with Probable Name Match) on the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN') will be used to identify these unverified matches being returned to the State. The name that was submitted on the NDNH record will be returned in the process.

5.4 Impact on States

States will see an increase in FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response records, because the NDNH unverified records with successful name match are being added to the process. A new Locate Response Code value of '48' (positions 375-376) will be set on the FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record (Record Identifier 'FN') to identify these records. The new Locate Response Code will allow States to monitor and/or perform additional follow up if needed.

5.5 Output Record Specification

Refer to Chart A-6, "FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Record", for the revised record layout for this change. The material that is highlighted indicates the changes to the existing record layout.

6.0 RETURN INSURANCE MATCH OUTPUT TO STATE CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES (OCSE REF #2235)

6.1 Summary of Changes

The Federal Case Registry (FCR) is being modified to return new, two-part FCR Insurance Match Response records that contain the results of matches between persons on the Federal Offset File and insurance company databases.

6.2 Background

Section 7306 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 amended Section 452 of the Social Security Act to authorize OCSE, through the FPLS, to compare information concerning individuals owing past-due child support with information maintained by insurers (or their agents) concerning insurance claims, settlements, awards, and payments, and return the matches to the State agencies responsible for collecting the past-due child support.

6.3 Description of Changes

The FCR will send two corresponding Insurance Match Response records to States when a successful match is identified with an insurance company. The Insurance Match Response record pairing will be part of the standard FCR Locate Response Batch output to States. A new, unique Record Identifier, 'IM', will be used to identify the Insurance Match Response records along with a sub-identifier to distinguish Record 1 from Record 2 formats. The standard record length of 920 bytes will be used for each record.

6.4 Impact on States

States will not receive the Insurance Match records until they choose to participate. States that choose to participate in the Insurance Match will need programming changes to accept and process the new FCR Insurance Match Response record layouts. OCSE will initially suppress the insurance match process for all States. To notify OCSE that your State is ready to participate in the Insurance Match, refer to the Release 07-01 Federal Offset Specifications, Part 1.0, "Create New Exclusion Indicator for Insurance Match (OCSE 2149)."

The FCR Response Trailer Record is revised and includes a new field, "Insurance Match Response Records," in field position 222-229.

6.5 Output Record Specification

Refer to Chart A-7 and A-8, "FCR Insurance Match Response Record – Part 1 and Part 2" for the new record layouts and Chart A-9, "FCR Response Trailer Record", for the changes in the trailer record layout.
