The Federal Case Registry (FCR) contains state Child Support Enforcement (IV-D) and non IV-D case data and serves as a pointer system to help locate persons across state lines. Person data in the FCR are matched daily against employment data in the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) and sent to states to facilitate case processing and increase collections, especially through automated income withholding. Additionally, matches are sent to states to inform them if a IV-D case participant in their state appears as a participant in a IV-D or non IV-D case in another state. The FCR also serves as the conduit for matching against the following sources: Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), National Security Agency (NSA) and Social Security Administration (SSA). Matches made through the Multistate Financial Institution Data Match (MSFIDM) are returned to states through the FCR.
