Abstract:
The Information Comparison with Insurance Data Match (“Insurance Match”) program is a cooperative effort between the federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), states, insurers, and third-party administrators or agents. The information collected for the Insurance Match is necessary to help state child support agencies (“CSAs”) collect past-due support from noncustodial parents. To facilitate the Insurance Match, OCSS uses a centralized, efficient, secure, and cost-effective automated process that compares information about individuals who may receive a payment from an insurance claim, settlement, or award (“claim”) with information in the OCSS Debtor File (OMB #0970-0161, Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial) to identify obligors who owe past-due support. State workers’ compensation agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor also provide OCSS with claim information for collecting past-due child support from noncustodial parents. State agency and insurer participation in the Insurance Match program is voluntary; however, 13 states have specific mandates for insurers to report claims. The Insurance Match program assists with meeting these state mandates. The information collection activities associated with the Insurance Match program are authorized by 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(9) and (m), which authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information concerning individuals with a child support debt with information that insurers (or their agents) maintain concerning insurance claims. This approval request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. An explanation of changes is provided under item #15 of Supporting Statement A.

Short Statement:
The Insurance Match instruments underwent minor edits to replace “Office of Child Support enforcement (OCSE)” with “Office of Child Support Services (OCSS)”. These adjustments constitute a program change but do not impact the burden. The burden hour increased since the previous approval, from 2,817.21 hours to 3,090.86 hours. This adjustment is the result of an increase in the number of new Insurance Match program respondents from 145 to 165 and adding a burden estimate for quarterly reporting respondents. The estimated average amount of time for each response is unchanged.
