# FCR Transactions

This section provides an explanation of the standards used for the FCR
interface transactions. It explains the terminology used in the
description of the transaction layouts and the processing descriptions.
This section also includes an explanation of the interface transaction
formats used by the FCR and examples of FCR Transactions.

## FCR Transaction Structures

The FCR interfaces with the SCR using SSA's network and the
CONNECT:Direct protocol. Additional information regarding CONNECT:Direct
and the process for transmission of data to the FCR and receiving data
from the FCR may be found in Part 3, "Data Transmission Method".
Submitters must transmit data to the FCR in batches using prescribed
fixed record length formats described in Appendix G, "FCR Input
Transaction Layouts". When transmitting input records, the FCR
Transmission Header Record must be the first record in the transmission.
If the Header Record is not the first record in the transmission, the
system will reject all records until it finds a Header Record. The data
transmitted to the FCR in the required formats must comply with the
following requirements:

1.  All data must be in EBCDIC format.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  All alphabetic data, except the User Field, must be in upper case.
    The User Field is accepted in upper/lower case to enable States to
    use the field as a State system generated key.

2.  All alphabetic and alphanumeric data must be left-justified.

3.  All numeric data must be right-justified and zero-filled.

4.  All dates must be in the format of CCYYMMDD.

5.  All Filler fields must be filled with spaces and not low values.

The FCR generates output transactions in batches using the prescribed
fixed length record formats, which are described in Appendix H, "FCR
Output Transaction Layouts". Each batch contains a Batch Header,
detailed transaction records and a Trailer Record. The FCR output
transactions comply with the requirements listed above. The FCR
generates three types of response batches for routing to the appropriate
State. The three types are:

-   **FCR Routine Batch Response.** This batch type is returned in
    response to an input batch received from a submitter. The batch
    header includes the submitter-assigned batch number for the input
    batch. The batch includes Acknowledgement/Error Records for each
    input record that is submitted in the batch. The
    Acknowledgement/Error Record indicates if the input record was
    accepted, rejected or is being held pending further processing. The
    Batch Trailer Record summarizes, by record type, the number of
    records received in the batch and the type of acknowledgement/error
    condition returned for the records.

-   **FCR Pending Resolution Batch Response**. This batch type is
    returned when input records from the submitter that were held
    pending further processing have been finalized, i.e., accepted or
    rejected. This batch can include Acknowledgements/Error Records for
    transactions submitted in different batches by the submitter. The
    Acknowledgement/Error Record includes the batch number used by the
    submitter. The Batch Trailer Record for this batch type will
    summarize, by type, the number and type of Acknowledgement/Error
    Records being returned.

-   **FCR Locate Batch Response.** This batch type will return:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   FCR Query/Proactive Match Response Records,

-   FCR NDNH Locate/Proactive Match Response Records,

-   FCR Locate Response Records,

-   FCR SVES Locate (and Proactive) Response Records,

-   FCR Title II Pending Claim Response Records,

-   FCR MSFIDM Response Records,

-   FCR DMDC Match Response Records,

-   FCR IRS-1099 Response Records, and

-   Insurance Match Response Records.

The Locate Batch Response is sent whenever these types of transactions
are available, regardless of whether the State has submitted any input
transaction since the previous cycle. The Batch Trailer Record will
indicate the number of each type of record returned in the batch.
Regulations require that FCR IRS-1099 Locate Response Records be sent to
the State in separate batches from the Proactive Match and other Locate
Response Records.

The type of batch being returned is identified by the Record Identifier
in the Batch Header Record. The different batch headers are described in
Appendix H, "FCR Output Transaction Layouts".

## FCR Transaction Classifications

FCR processing can be classified in four basic groups of transactions:
adds, changes, deletes and Proactive Matching.

### Add

An Add Transaction is an initial submission of person or case
information when the person and/or case are not on the FCR for that
State when the transaction is received. Persons registered as
participants in existing cases can be added to (associated with) new
cases or to other existing cases for that State. To add a person to more
than one case, submitters must send a separate FCR Input Person/Locate
Request Record for each of the cases in which they want to add the
person on the FCR.

Use the FCR Input Person/Locate Request Record with an Action Type Code
of 'A' to add a person to a new or existing FCR case. Use the FCR Input
Case Record with an Action Type Code of 'A' to add a new case to the
FCR. A new case requires a unique case identifier for the submitting
State and at least one 'CP', 'NP' or 'PF' Participant Type.

### Change

A Change Transaction is used to modify existing person or case
information on the FCR. Submitters can only modify cases that are
present on the FCR when the transaction is processed. Submitters cannot
update previously-deleted cases. A submitter can modify person or case
information only if that submitter registered the person or case on the
FCR.

Case changes can affect person changes. For example, changing the Case
ID will automatically change the Case ID on the associated Person
Records. Use the FCR Input Person/Locate Request Record with an Action
Type Code of 'C' to change person information. Use the FCR Input Case
Record with an Action Type Code of 'C' to change case information.

### Delete

A Delete Transaction is used to remove a person from a case, and to
close a case on the FCR.

The FCR deletes a person from a case when requested by the State that
registered the person in that case. If a person who is deleted from a
case on the FCR is also registered in another case or cases on the FCR,
the person remains as a participant on the other case or cases on the
FCR. If a person is deleted from a case and is not associated with any
other case on the FCR, the FCR removes the person from the system.

Deleting a case removes that case from the FCR and removes each person
associated with the case. If a person associated with that case is not
associated with any other case on the FCR, the FCR removes that person
from the system.

Submitters can delete only their own cases and can delete persons only
from their own cases. Deletion of cases, and any resulting deletion of
persons from the FCR, will close the submitters' outstanding requests
for Locate processing, if any exist.

Note that when a person is deleted from a case, if that case no longer
contains at least one CP, NCP or PF, the FCR will delete the case and
any children associated with that case.

Use the FCR Input Person/Locate Request Record with an Action Type Code
of 'D' to remove a person from a case. Use the FCR Input Case Record
with an Action Type Code of 'D' to delete a case. Section 2.4.1, "Person
and Case Management and Tracking", presents information on the
conditions for deleting a case from the FCR.

### FCR Proactive Match Processing

Proactive matching is:

-   a continuous and automatic process that compares persons within the
    FCR and between the FCR and NDNH;

-   a periodic process that sends requests to DEERS and SVES; and

-   an automatic process that receives responses from SSA whenever SSA
    identifies new or changed Title II pending claimant matches a FCR
    person.

Proactive matching provides States with current information about:

-   individuals,

-   their child support cases,

-   their employers,

-   wages,

-   UI benefit,

-   Title II, Title XVI, Prison information,

-   Title II Pending Claim, and

-   military medical benefits for children.

The continuous matching process has two facets: 1) the initial search,
which is one-time only, and 2) the searches that automatically take
place when an FCR record changes or an NDNH record is added. The
periodic matching process occurs several times a year to match persons
in the FCR with active military personnel that are enrolled in DEERS.
When case and person records on the FCR meet specific conditions, one or
more of the Proactive Matching processes occur. Identical verified SSNs
constitute a match. The six types of Proactive Matching are:

1.  FCR-to-FCR,

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
6.  FCR-to-NDNH,

7.  NDNH-to-FCR,

8.  FCR-to-SVES,

9.  FCR-to-DEERS, and

10. SSA Title II Pending Claim-to-FCR.

Proactive matching does not take place if a person on the FCR has a FV
Indicator, because disclosure of any information is prohibited. Refer to
Part 6, "FCR Transaction-Specific Information", for more information on
the FV Indicator.

#### FCR-to-FCR Internal Search

The FCR-to-FCR internal search is the automatic process that identifies
States that have persons in common. Refer to Section 6.10.1, "FCR-to-SCR
Proactive Transactions", and Appendix H, "FCR Output Transaction
Layouts", for the specific data the FCR sends to each State with a
matched person. The following activities trigger the FCR-to-FCR
Proactive matching processes.

1.  A person is added to the FCR in a:

**IV-D case.** When a person is added to the FCR in a IV-D case with a
verified SSN or an unverified SSN/Name combination with probable name
match, and without an FV Indicator, Proactive Matching occurs for all
verified SSNs and unverified SSN/Name combinations with probable name
match associated with that person. If the person being added is already
registered on the FCR with one or more other States, the system notifies
each State that has registered that person in a IV-D case, including the
State that is adding the person. Proactive matching for a person in a
IV-D case is an automatic and continuous process. Each time a State adds
a person to a case on the FCR, every State that previously registered
that person in a IV-D case receives the other State's new information.
Proactive matching on a person in a IV-D case also returns information
concerning all Non IV-D orders in which the person is a participant. The
FCR sends the following information to States that have registered a
person in an IV-D case:

-   information about the person,

-   information about cases that contain the person, and

-   information about the other persons in those cases, if these persons
    have verified SSNs or an unverified SSN/Name combination with
    probable name match, and do not have an FV Indicator.

**Non IV-D order.** When a person is added to the FCR in a Non IV-D
order, the FCR returns to the submitter only an acknowledgement of the
registration, the SSN Validity code, and error or warning messages (if
any). The FCR does not return any matching information to the submitting
State. The FCR does send the following information to States that have
registered the same person in an IV-D case:

-   information about the person,

-   information about cases that contain the person, and

-   information about the other persons in those cases, if these persons
    have verified SSNs or unverified SSN/Name combinations with probable
    name match, and do not have FV Indicators.

If another State subsequently adds the same person to the FCR, the State
with the person in a Non IV-D order does not receive the new State's
information.

11. A State changes a person's information on the FCR:

The following changes cause an FCR-to-FCR internal search to occur:

-   when an unverified SSN/Name combination is changed to a verified
    SSN/Name combination (primary or supplemental) or an unverified
    SSN/Name combination with probable name match, and

-   when a State removes an FV Indicator from a person, and no other
    State has placed an FV Indicator on that person, Proactive Matching
    occurs as if the person were being added to the FCR. Refer to the
    process in item #1 above, for information on Proactive Matching in
    this situation.

When a State submits a change to a person who is on the FCR, the system
sends that information to other States that have registered the person
in a IV-D case. A State that has the person registered in a Non IV-D
order does not receive notification of the change. When a person in a
IV-D case is changed, the FCR returns the following information:

-   information about the person;

-   information about cases that contain the person; and

-   information about the other persons in those cases, if these persons
    have verified SSNs or unverified SSN/Name combinations with probable
    name match, and do not have an FV Indicator.

12. A State changes Case Information:

**a. A State changes the Case Type:**

**Non IV-D to IV-D.** When a State changes a Case Type from Non IV-D to
IV-D, Proactive Matching occurs. For each person in the case and all
verified SSNs or unverified SSN/Name combinations with probable name
match, associated with that person, the FCR sends notification of the
change to each State that has the person in a IV-D case, including the
State that submitted the change, as long as the person does not have an
FV Indicator and does have a verified SSN or an unverified SSN/Name
combination with probable name match. A State that has the person
registered in a Non IV-D order does not receive notification of the
change.

**IV-D to Non IV-D.** When a State changes a Case Type from IV-D to Non
IV-D, Proactive Matching ceases. The FCR does not notify any State when
this type of change takes place.

**b. A State changes the Order Indicator to 'Y':**

When a State changes an Order Indicator in a IV-D case to **'**Y**'**,
an FCR-to-FCR Internal Search is conducted.

**c. A State changes the Case ID:**

When a State changes a Case ID, an FCR-to-FCR Internal Search is
conducted.

13. A State deletes a person:

When a State submits a Delete Person Transaction for a person on the
FCR, the system sends information to other States that have registered
the person in a IV-D case, providing there is no FV associated with the
deleted person. A matched State that has the person registered in a Non
IV-D case does not receive notification of the Person Delete
Transaction. In this process the FCR returns the following information
to the [matched]{.underline} States in IV-D cases:

-   information about the deleted person,

-   information about the deleted case,

-   information about the other people in the deleted person's case, if
    these people have verified SSNs or unverified SSN/Name combinations
    with probable name match and do not have an FV indicator.

14. A State closes a case:

When a State closes a case on the FCR, it also deletes all persons
associated with the case. In this process the FCR returns the following
information to the [matched]{.underline} States in IV-D cases:

-   information about the deleted case,

-   information about the matched person,

-   information about the other people in the deleted case, if these
    people have verified SSNs or unverified SSN/Name combinations with
    probable name match, and do not have an FV indicator.

#### FCR-to-NDNH Search

The FCR-to-NDNH search is the automatic process that identifies W-4, QW
or UI information for persons who are a CP, NCP or PF in a IV-D case.

FCR-to-NDNH search occurs:

-   each time a State adds a person in a IV-D case,

-   when a State changes case type from non-IV-D to IV-D,

-   when a State changes unverified SSN to verified SSN or unverified
    SSN/Name combination with probable name match, or

-   when a State removes an FV Indicator.

The system sends matching NDNH information to each State that has the
person in a IV-D case.

Proactive matching does not take place on persons who:

-   have a Participant Type of CH in that case,

-   have an unverified SSN,

-   have an FV Indicator, or

-   are in a Non IV-D order.

When the last FV Indicator is removed from a person, the FCR-to-NDNH
matching will occur for that person. Matched NDNH data will be sent to
every State that registered that person in an IV-D case.

FCR-to-NDNH Proactive Matching returns matching W-4, QW and UI
information from States that reported the W-4, QW or UI data. The FCR
returns the following NDNH data from Proactive Matching:

-   Data from up to ten W-4 records, none older than six months.

-   Data from the most recent quarter for which QW records exist, none
    older than twelve months.

-   Data from the most recent quarter for which UI records exist, none
    older than twelve months.

#### NDNH-to-FCR Search

The NDNH-to-FCR search is the automatic process that identifies W-4, QW
or UI information for persons who are a CP, NCP or PF in a IV-D case on
the FCR. Each time the NDNH receives a W-4, QW or UI record, the system
matches the data with the FCR. The system sends matching NDNH
information to each State that has the person in a IV-D case.

Proactive Matching does not take place on persons who:

-   have a Participant Type of CH in that case,

-   have an unverified SSN,

-   have an FV Indicator, or

-   are in a Non IV-D order.

NDNH-to-FCR Proactive Matching returns matching W-4, QW and UI
information to States. This Proactive Match only returns the most recent
NDNH data that triggered the match. State A matching NDNH record may be
returned more than once if the adult person is registered in more than
one case within a State with different Member IDs and Participant Types.
Refer to Section 6.10, "Proactive Matching".

#### FCR-to-SVES Proactive Match Search

The FCR-to-SVES Proactive Match Search is the automatic process that
identifies Title II, Title XVI and Prisoner Information for a SVES State
that has opted to receive SVES Proactive Matches.

Each time a SVES Proactive State adds a person to a case, the FCR
determines if the person meets the SVES Proactive Match criteria as
follows:

-   The person must be in an IV-D Case.

-   The person must have a verified SSN, or an unverified SSN/Name
    combination with probable name match, and must have no family
    violence indicated.

-   The person's participant type must have been selected on the State's
    option form for SVES proactive match.

-   The Date of Birth must be a valid date for the SVES proactive match
    request to be created.

In addition, the following changes to a person or case initiates a
search:

-   The case type changes from non-IV-D to IV-D.

-   The person's unverified SSN changes to a verified SSN or unverified
    SSN/Name combination with probable name match.

-   The removal of family violence can initiate the SVES Proactive Match
    search if the person meets the SVES Proactive Match criteria.

The system returns only positive SVES match responses to the submitter
if the person still meets the SVES Proactive Match criteria. SVES match
responses Title II (E05), Title XVI (E06) and Prisoner (E07) are
returned for Adult Participant Types. A Child participant will receive
only Title II responses. The SVES Proactive State will not receive
negative match responses, FCR SVES Not Found Response (E10), in this
process.

SVES Proactive Matching does not take place on persons who:

-   do not have a Participant Type that was selected by the
    participating SVES State,

-   have an unverified SSN,

-   have an FV Indicator, or

-   are in a Non IV-D order.

A SVES Proactive State can continue to request a SVES Locate. However,
FCR will suppress the SVES Proactive Match request if a SVES Locate is
made in conjunction with an add or change transaction.

#### FCR-to-DMDC Proactive Search

The FCR-to-DMDC Proactive Search is a periodic process that matches
children and the **case-related** persons, CP, NCP or PF**, in open IV-D
cases** to DEERS through DMDC.

DMDC Proactive Matching takes place when:

-   a child and at least one adult are associated with a case,

-   the child's date of birth is present and the child is less than 23
    years of age,

-   at least one person within the case-related group has a verified
    SSN/Name combination or unverified SSN/Name combination with
    probable name match, and

-   no one within the case related group has a Family Violence Indicator
    set.

The FCR-to-DMDC Proactive search returns military medical benefit
information to States for children and the case related persons, CP, NCP
or PF.

The match identifies whether the child:

-   is currently enrolled for military medical benefits, or

-   is eligible to be enrolled for military medical benefits based on
    the associated CP, NCP or PFs military status, or was enrolled for
    military medical benefits but is not currently enrolled and neither
    the associated CP, NCP nor PF is currently enrolled.

#### SSA Title II Pending Claim-to-FCR Proactive Search

The SSA Title II Pending Claim-to-FCR Proactive Match Search is the
automatic process that returns a Response Record that contains the SSA
Title II Pending Claim information for participating States in this
proactive match. As SSA claims are added to, and changed on, SSA's Title
II Pending Claims File, the claim's beneficiary SSN is compared against
the FCR. The SSA Title II Pending Claim information is returned to the
State as a proactive match if the SSA beneficiary's SSN matches an FCR
SSN that:

-   is verified,

-   has no family violence,

-   is in a IV-D case, and

-   the State has opted to receive this proactive match.

States that choose to participate in this proactive match must complete
the option form, Title II Pending Claim Response Election Form (in
Appendix L, Section L-11), and must send the form to the FCR Options
Coordinator.

If a State chooses this option, the State must program their system to
accept and process the Response Record that is described in Appendix H,
Chart H-27, "FCR Title II Pending Claim Response Record" (Record
Identifier 'FK' with the Locate Source Response Agency Code of 'E04').

## Transaction Data Layouts

Section 4.3.1, "Transaction Layouts", presents an explanation of the
record layouts used as input transactions to, and output transactions
from, the FCR. Appendix G, "FCR Input Transaction Layouts", and Appendix
H, "FCR Output Transaction Layouts", provide detailed descriptions of
each of the record layouts.

Section 4.3.2, "Data Elements", provides a table of the data elements
the State's system must or can extract, and transmit to the FCR, and
defines where and when to use the elements in the input transactions.
Descriptions of the elements, including valid values and field size, are
included in Appendix E, "Data Dictionary".

This section concludes with examples of the input transaction and the
FCR response to the transaction to illustrate the use of the FCR
Transactions.

### Transaction Layouts

The FCR accepts transactions from the statewide system in fixed-length
record formats that have been defined by OCSE. Chart 4-1 describes each
of the input record layouts accepted by the FCR. For more detailed
descriptions, refer to Appendix G, "FCR Input Transaction Layouts".

|                  | indicating that the case has been closed. Upon    |
|                  | receipt and acceptance of the Delete Transaction, |
|                  | the case will be deleted from the FCR. The case   |
|                  | closure criteria are, as they have always been,   |
|                  | permissive rather than mandatory. If a case does  |
|                  | not meet one of the closure criteria, it must     |
|                  | remain open. A State has the option of leaving a  |
|                  | case open even if it does meet the case closure   |
|                  | criteria. When deciding whether to close a case,  |
|                  | which would delete it from the FCR as well, a     |
|                  | State should weigh the benefits of keeping the    |
|                  | case on the FCR or deleting it. For more guidance |
|                  | regarding case closure, refer to Section 2.4.1,   |
|                  | "Person and Case Management and Tracking".        |

|                  | based on the action being requested: add, change  |
|                  | or delete a case. While a single record format is |
|                  | used, the separate explanations are intended to   |
|                  | provide a clear definition of the required and    |
|                  | optional fields based on the record's Action Type |
|                  | Code.                                             |

| Person/Locate    |                                                   |
| Request Record   | This record is used to add a person to a case on  |
|                  | the FCR. It can also be used to change            |
|                  | information for a person or to delete a person    |
|                  | from a case on the FCR.                           |
|                  |                                                   |
|                  | The submitted record can include an SSN and name  |
|                  | combination that will be validated using the SSA  |
|                  | SSN verification routines. If the person's SSN is |
|                  | not available to the submitter, additional        |
|                  | information can be submitted on this record that  |
|                  | will allow the FCR to automatically utilize SSA   |
|                  | and IRS SSN identification routines to obtain the |
|                  | SSN.                                              |
|                  |                                                   |
|                  | This record is also used to initiate or terminate |
|                  | a request for Locate processing for a person. The |
|                  | request for Locate processing can be initiated    |
|                  | when the person information is being added or     |
|                  | changed. A Locate can also be initiated using     |
|                  | this record without adding or changing a person   |
|                  | on the FCR. The submitter must specify on the     |
|                  | record the desired Locate sources. (Note: Under   |
|                  | certain conditions, the FCR will automatically    |
|                  | perform a Locate of the NDNH when a person is     |
|                  | added to, or changed on, the FCR.)                |
|                  |                                                   |
|                  | Five explanations of this record are provided in  |
|                  | Appendix G based on the action being requested:   |
|                  | add a person, change a person, delete a person    |
|                  | from a case, initiate a request for Locate, or    |
|                  | terminate a Locate Request. While a single record |
|                  | format is used for each of these actions, the     |
|                  | separate explanations are intended to provide a   |
|                  | clear definition of the required and optional     |
|                  | fields based on the record's Action Type Code.    |

|                  | This record is used to obtain, when authorized,   |
|                  | case and associated person(s) information from    |
|                  | the FCR for a specific person. A submitter is     |
|                  | authorized to submit and receive FCR information  |
|                  | for a person whom they have registered on the     |
|                  | FCR. A submitter that has registered a person in  |
|                  | a case on the FCR may receive FCR information on  |
|                  | that person from other States with or without     |
|                  | their own State's data being included.            |

|                  | transactions sent to the FCR. This record         |
|                  | indicates the total number of transactions        |
|                  | included in the batch including Header and        |
|                  | Trailer Records. It is used to determine if the   |
|                  | transmission was successfully completed.          |

|                  | input transaction and the reason the transaction  |
|                  | is being rejected. Up to five warning and/or      |
|                  | rejection error codes can be returned with each   |
|                  | record. If the input record was accepted or       |

|                  | returned only once in the FCR Routine Batch       |
|                  | Response. If the input record must be held        |
|                  | awaiting the verification or identification of    |
|                  | the person's SSN, this record is returned once    |
|                  | with the FCR Routine Batch Response and again     |
|                  | when the SSN verification process is complete in  |
|                  | an FCR Pending Resolution Batch. Records that are |
|                  | accepted without a verified SSN, i.e., the SSN    |
|                  | submitted could not be verified nor could a       |
|                  | corrected SSN be identified, are stored on the    |
|                  | FCR as person records with unverified SSNs. While |
|                  | these records can be changed by the submitting    |
|                  | State, SSN unverified person records are not      |
|                  | subject to Proactive Matching, FCR Query or       |

|                  | Records that are accepted as Unverified SSN/Name  |
|                  | combination with probable name match are treated  |
|                  | as verified SSNs and are subject to Proactive     |

Transaction Layouts". These examples provide several illustrations of
the nine possible FCR input transactions. Each example describes the
State and the FCR response.

#### Person and Case Transactions

The following examples illustrate the need to add, change or delete
persons and/or cases from the FCR. For each example, the following
information is provided: Transaction Type, Case Type, State Action,
Identifier Status (i.e., the key used by the FCR to process the
transaction), and FCR Response. Unless specifically noted, the examples
assume that the participants do not have an FV Indicator.
