DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER DCL-98-35
DATE : April 15, 1998
TO : All State IV-D Directors
RE : Updated OCSE Information Exchange Report:
"State License Restrictions, Suspensions and Revocations,"
and "DHHS Office of Inspector General Report"


Dear Colleague:

Enclosed is an updated matrix of States' license restrictions, suspensions and revocations. Information contained in this matrix is current as of December 31, 1997 and is based on information received from State IV-D agency contact persons through our Federal regional office staff.

The matrix provides a national overview of all 54 States and jurisdictions. It includes each State's contact person, legislative and implementation dates, judicial and administrative processes, licenses affected, trigger criteria, match processes, and due process procedures.

Also enclosed is an Office of Inspector General audit report on the effectiveness of license suspension processes with specific emphasis on determining whether the administrative process is more effective than the judicial process. The review was performed in eight States.

Thanks to all staff who provided updated information for the Licensing matrix. If you have any questions, please contact Sheila M. LeBlanc of my staff at (202) 401-4974.

Sincerely,

David Gray Ross
Commissioner
Office of Child Support Enforcement

About this OCSE Information Exchange

The Office of Child Support Enforcement periodically produces information exchanges as a means of providing "at-a-glance" information on innovative enforcement practices. This matrix on License Restrictions, Suspensions and Revocations is an update of the one issued in January, 1997. Information in this version is current as of January, 1998.

License suspension and revocation is an enforcement mechanism designed to encourage obligors to pay their child support or risk restriction of various licenses. States which have implemented this remedy have found that the risk of losing a license is an effective means of bringing a delinquent obligor into compliance. Consequently, few licenses have actually been suspended or revoked.

Section 369 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) requires States to have and use the authority to withhold, suspend or restrict the use of driver's licenses, professional and occupational licenses, recreational and sporting licenses of individuals owing past due support or failing after receiving appropriate notice, to comply with subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support proceedings.

In addition, Section 317 of PRWORA requires that any applicant for a professional, occupational or commercial driver's license record the Social Security Number on the application.

The processes employed to implement license suspension in general vary, especially in terms of complexity. For example, Vermont's process is relatively simple. In Vermont, every applicant for a license must sign a statement that the applicant is not under a child support obligation, or is in good standing with a plan to pay child support. A license may not be issued or renewed without such a statement. South Dakota's process is more complex. After notification, a professional or driver's license will not be issued or renewed if the obligor accumulates arrears of more than $1,000. The written notice provides an explanation of the total amount owed and due process rights. A one-time six-month temporary driving permit is granted to these obligors upon request. The issuance or renewal of the license is contingent upon either full payment of the arrears or a repayment agreement with the state child support office. If the obligor does not fulfill the payment agreement, child support will either seek administrative revocation of the license or request the circuit court to revoke or suspend the driver's or professional license.

Communication with other state agencies also varies. For example, Connecticut has on-line access with licensing authorities and Maine uses print outs from licensing authorities. Some States do not have any automated interface at this time.

To date, 52 States and jurisdictions have some form of license suspension legislation.

Other information exchanges cover Paternity Establishment, UIFSA, and W4/Employer Reporting of New Hires (updated in March, 1998). Suggestions on how to improve these information exchanges or for additional topics for OCSE to address are welcome.
