Financial Institution Data Match
With the
introduction of FIDM (Financial Institution Data Match), state child
support enforcement agencies must conduct quarterly matches with hundreds
of single-state financial institutions operating within their
state.
State agencies
must also participate in matching at the federal level with thousands
of multi-state financial institutions and process tens of thousands
of matches resulting in collections through account seizures.
State agencies
also engage in interstate processing to identify and seize accounts
located in another state. In
addition, they engage in outreach to solicit the cooperation
of financial institutions, perform customer services to address
the concerns of delinquent obligors whose access to financial assets
has been disrupted, and develop automated systems to routinely
process and manage large numbers of cases.
