Re:  Monthly Crossmatches with the State Employment Security Agencies 
     (SESAs)

Dear Colleague:

As you know, during the past years the Federal Parent Locator Service 
(FPLS) has conducted monthly crossmatches with the State Employment 
Security Agencies (SESAs) to obtain wage and unemployment data for 
child support enforcement agencies.  Again we would like to express 
our gratitude to you and your staff for the continued cooperation and 
support given to this meaningful program.  The information obtained 
from these matches has proven to be the best source in locating 
noncustodial parents in interstate cases; and the State and local 
child support agencies have been extremely pleased with the 
information and the expansion of the number of crossmatches. 

The tape exchange process used last year served all parties very 
well.  Therefore, the procedures for the tape exchange will remain 
the same for 1996.  Enclosed is a copy of the FPLS/SESA crossmatch 
schedule for part of the year.

If you or your staff should have any questions regarding the 
processing of tapes, please contact Joan O'Connor on 
(202) 401-9268.  Also, to expedite the payment process and assure 
that you receive prompt reimbursement, please submit your invoices to 
the FPLS office.  If you have any questions regarding billing, please 
call Marcia LaRue on (202) 401-9267.


                              Sincerely,



                              David Gray Ross
