Financial Institution Data Match

What is FIDM? > FIDM Overview

The FIDM program stems from Federal legislation passed in 1996.� Additional legislation in 1998 simplified the process for multi-state financial institutions doing business in more than one state.� Although the procedures for data match with single-state and multi-state financial institutions differ, the requirements are identical.� This data match requires state child support agencies to enter into agreements with financial institutions and to automate to the greatest extent possible.
