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.
