DCL-95-064, Unaccountables for 1996 Tax Refund Offset&rquo;s Processing Year


Re:  Unaccountables for 1996 Tax Refund Offset's Processing Year

OCT 16 1995                        DC 95-64

TO ALL STATE IV-D DIRECTORS

Dear Colleague:

Enclosed please find the unaccountables from those cases
submitted to the Federal Tax Refund Offset Program for the 1996
processing year October deadline.  These cases were not accepted
due to various reasons listed in Exhibit K of the Action
Transmittal 94-05.  Please note the error code 31 which is the
result of unaccountables being sent to SSA to obtain a corrected
SSN through the EVS system.  Any cases that came back with a
corrected SSN will be placed under code 31.  The corrected SSN is
included on the tape which should facilitate your efforts to
correct your files.  Also attached is a printout which shows the
number of corrected SSNs on the tape.  The payoff for correcting
these SSNs is tremendous.  Our tracking shows that States
realized an additional $22 million in collections since the
inception of the program in Processing Year 1993 because they
took the time to make the corrections we returned to them.

As in the past, for those States whom OCSE issued a pre-offset
notice, these unaccountables will automatically be deleted.  For
those States who issued their own notice, please delete those
unaccountables for which you did not issue a pre-offset notice.

If we may be of any further assistance, please feel free to
contact the Special Collections Unit on (202) 401-9389.

                              Sincerely,




                              David Gray Ross
                              Deputy Director
                              Office of Child Support
