RE: State Data Quality Profiles

Dear Colleague:

In our continuing effort to maintain the quality of child support data and to provide you with feedback, we have prepared the attached Data Quality Profile for your state. Our intent is to provide a comprehensive picture of the volume and quality of data your state submitted to, and received from, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement for the period of April 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002. State child support workers often request feedback on the completeness and accuracy of the data. This profile provides that information, in a single report, separated into five Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) program areas: Federal Case Registry, National Directory of New Hires, Federal Offset, Passport Denial, and Multistate Financial Institution Data Match.

I hope that you find the information helpful. If you have any questions about the profile, please contact your State Technical Support Liaison or Ella Lawson, FPLS Branch Chief, at (202) 401-4963 or elawson@acf.hhs.gov.

Thank for your continued support as we work together to improve the lives of America’s children.

Sincerely,

Sherri Z. Heller, Ed.D.
Commissioner
Office of Child Support Enforcement
