With the introduction of FIDM (Financial Institution Data Match), state child support enforcement agencies must conduct quarterly matches with hundreds of single-state financial institutions operating within their state.

State agencies must also participate in matching at the federal level with thousands of multi-state financial institutions and process tens of thousands of matches resulting in collections through account seizures.

State agencies also engage in interstate processing to identify and seize accounts located in another state. In addition, they engage in outreach to solicit the cooperation of financial institutions, perform customer services to address the concerns of delinquent obligors whose access to financial assets has been disrupted, and develop automated systems to routinely process and manage large numbers of cases.
