SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Explanation of Changes to 09–80– 

0381, OCSE National Directory of New 

Hires 

This system of records covers records 

about newly hired employees, including 

employer, wage, unemployment 

compensation, and income withholding 

information for child support 

enforcement. The System of Records 

Notice (SORN) has been modified as 

follows: 

• Address information in the System 

Location and System Manager sections 

has been updated. 

• The Authority section has been 

updated to include 42 U.S.C. 652(n), 

653(a)(2), 653(c)(5), and 659a(c)(2). 

• The Purpose section has been 

revised to include these additional 

purpose specifications: 

Æ Assisting tribal child support 

programs. 

Æ Supporting establishment and 

enforcement of child and medical 

support orders. 

Æ Supporting collection of non-tax 

debts owed to the federal government 

and administration of the tax code. 

• The Categories of Individuals 

section now includes the following: 

Æ Independent contractors as part of 

category 3. 

Æ Tribal IV–D child support 

enforcement agencies as part of category 

5. 

• The Categories of Records section 

now includes references to the 

following: 

Æ Independent contractors as part of 

record category 3. 

Æ Tribal IV–D child support 

enforcement agencies as part of record 

category 6. 

Æ Medical support records as part of 

record category 6, including an 

explanation that such records contain 

health care coverage provider 

information, third party provider 

information, professional employer 

organization information, and pension 

plan provider information. 

• The Record Source Categories 

section now includes the following: 

Æ Health Plan Administrators, both 

employers and the health plan 

administrators may be sources of health 

care coverage information submitted in 

response to a National Medical Support 

Notice. 

• The Routine Uses section has been 

updated as follows: 

Æ The opening paragraph has been 

revised to remove an unnecessary 

statement that each disclosure must be 

compatible with the purpose for which 

the records were collected (the 

statement is redundant because this is 

how a routine use is defined in 5 U.S.C. 

552a(a)(7)), and to add a statement that 

‘‘ACF will prohibit redisclosures, or 

may permit only certain redisclosures, 

as required or authorized by law.’’ 

Æ Routine use 1 has been revised to 

clarify that the persons authorized to be 

disclosure recipients under 42 U.S.C. 

653(c) include agents and attorneys of 

‘‘Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations’’ 

(in case not understood to be included 

in the description ‘‘agents and attorneys 

of states’’); to include, in the description 

of agents and attorneys, a reference to 

‘‘plan[s] approved under title IV–D of 

the Social Security Act;’’ to remove, 

from descriptions of court orders, 

references to ‘‘custody’’ and ‘‘visitation’’ 

(i.e., to refer only to ‘‘support’’ and 

‘‘maintenance’’); and to add a fifth 

category of disclosure recipient, i.e., an 

entity designated as a Central Authority 

for child support enforcement in a 

foreign reciprocating country or a 

foreign treaty country, as authorized by 

amendments made to 42 U.S.C. 653(c) 

by the Preventing Sex Trafficking and 

Strengthening Families Act of 2014, 

Public Law 113–183, September 29, 

2014. 

Æ Routine use 4 has been revised to 

include foreign treaty countries as 

disclosure recipients, pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 652(n) and 653(c)(5). 

Æ Routine use 7 has been revised to 

include Tribal IV–D child support 

enforcement agencies as disclosure 

recipients. 

Æ Routine use 9 has been revised to 

permit disclosures to the Commissioner 

of Social Security for an additional 

purpose, i.e., administering the Ticket to 

Work program. 

Æ The heading for routine use 15 has 

been revised to read ‘‘Disclosure to State 

Agency for Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Purposes’’ to mirror 

changes to the heading of subsection 42 

U.S.C. 653(j)(10) made by the 

Agricultural Act of 2014, Public Law 

113–79, February 7, 2014. 

Æ Routine use 16 has been revised to 

cite 42 U.S.C. 653 (instead of only 42 

U.S.C. 653(j)) and to no longer include 

an unnecessarily detailed description of 

the benefits, compensation, or services 

that are the subject of the disclosures 

made to the Secretary of Veterans 

Affairs under 42 U.S.C. 653. 

Æ Routine uses 17 and 18 have been 

revised to omit redundant wording, i.e., 

the disclosure must be compatible with 

the purpose for which the records were 

collected (the wording is redundant 

because this is how a routine use is 

defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7)); and the 

wording of routine use 18 (authorizing 

disclosures in litigation or other 

proceedings) has been simplified. 

Æ Routine use 19 has been revised to 

require that the constituent request, 

which is the subject of the disclosure, 

must be a ‘‘written’’ request. 

Æ The security breach-related routine 

use that was previously numbered as 

routine use 21 and was revised February 

14, 2018, (see 83 FR 6591) is now 

numbered as routine use 21(a); a second 

security breach-related routine use that 

was added in the notice on February 14, 

2018, is now numbered as routine use 

21(b). 

Æ A note has been added at the end 

of the Routine Uses section, explaining 

that most of the disclosures the Privacy 

Act at 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) permits to be 

made without publishing a routine use 

are not, in fact, permissible for NDNH 

data, due to access restrictions stated in 

the NDNH statute at 42 U.S.C. 653(l), 

but ACF may lawfully disclose NDNH 

data to the Comptroller General without 

the data subject’s consent, as permitted 

by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(10), and will make 

such disclosures when requested by the 

Comptroller General, because such 

disclosures are required by 31 U.S.C. 

721 notwithstanding the access 

restrictions imposed by the NDNH 

statute.

• A section that followed the Routine 

Uses section that stated disclosures are 

not made to consumer reporting 

agencies has been removed as 

unnecessary to include. 

• The Policies and Practices for 

Retention and Disposal of Records 

section has been updated to identify the 

applicable National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA)- 

approved disposition schedule, N1– 

292–10–2. 

• The Administrative, Technical, and 

Physical Safeguards section has been 

updated to include information about 

the use of cloud service providers and 

to state that authorized persons’ access 

to the records is role-based. 

• The procedures for making access, 

amendment, and notification requests 

now explain how to provide verification 

of identity (instead of stating that 

identity must be verified in accordance 

with HHS’ Privacy Act regulations) and 

list date of birth and social security 

number (SSN) as examples of 

identifying particulars to include for the 

purpose of distinguishing between 

records on individuals with the same 

name (instead of indicating that SSN 

should be included in every request). 

II. Explanation of Changes to 09–80– 

0383, OCSE Debtor File 

This system of records covers records 

about individuals owing past due child 

support and individuals claiming or 

receiving insurance claims, settlements, 

awards, and payments or other periodic 

or lump-sum state or federal benefits. 

The following modifications have been 

made: 

• Address information in the System 

Location and System Manager sections 

has been updated. 

• In the Purpose section, one 

statutory reference has been updated to 

reflect that 42 U.S.C. 652(l) was 

redesignated as 42 U.S.C. 652(m). 

• The Categories of Individuals 

section has been clarified to specifically 

mention ‘‘federal tax refunds and 

federal administrative payments’’ as 

examples of income or benefits, in the 

description of ‘‘additional individuals 

receiving income or benefits.’’ 

• The Categories of Records section 

has been revised to add date of birth, 

place of birth, and mailing address as 

data elements within record category 1. 

• The Routine Uses section has been 

updated as follows: 

Æ The opening paragraph and routine 

uses 11 and 12 have been revised to 

remove an unnecessary statement, ‘‘the 

disclosures must be compatible with the 

purpose for which the records were 

collected.’’ This statement is redundant, 

because this is how a routine use is 

defined in 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7)); and the 

wording of routine use 12 (authorizing 

disclosures in litigation or other 

proceedings) has been simplified. 

Æ Routine uses 4 and 8 have been 

revised to update a statutory citation 

(due to a redesignation, 42 U.S.C. 652(l), 

which is now 42 U.S.C. 652(m)). 

Æ Routine use 14 has been revised to 

require that the constituent request, 

which is the subject of the disclosure, 

must be a ‘‘written’’ request. 

Æ The security breach-related routine 

use that was previously numbered as 

routine use 15 and was revised on 

February 14, 2018 (see 83 FR 6591) is 

now numbered as routine use 15(a); and 

a second security breach-related routine 

use that was added in the same notice 

on February 14, 2018, is now numbered 

as routine use 15(b). 

• A section that followed the Routine 

Uses section, which stated that 

disclosures are not made to consumer 

reporting agencies, has been removed as 

unnecessary to include. 

• The Policies and Practices for 

Retention and Disposal of Records 

section has been updated to state that 

‘‘[u]pon approval of a disposition 

schedule by the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA)’’ the 

records will be deleted when OCSE 

determines that the records are no 

longer needed. 

• The Administrative, Technical, and 

Physical Safeguards section has been 

updated to include information about 

the use of cloud service providers and 

to state that authorized persons’ access 

to the records is role-based. 

• The procedures for making access, 

amendment, and notification requests 

now explain how to provide verification 

of identity (instead of stating that 

identity must be verified in accordance 

with HHS’ Privacy Act regulations) and 

list date of birth and SSN as examples 

of identifying particulars to include for 

the purpose of distinguishing between 

records on individuals with the same 

name (instead of indicating that SSN 

should be included in every request). 

III. Explanation of Changes to 09–80– 

0387, Child Support Portal Registration 

Records 

This system of records covers records 

OCSE uses to maintain and verify 

information about individuals who are 

legally authorized, and have been given 

access privileges by OCSE, to use the 

Child Support Portal. The Child 

Support Portal enables these authorized 

users to submit and exchange 

information and to access select, highly 

confidential child support enforcement 

case information maintained in other 

OCSE Systems of Records for authorized 

purposes. The following modifications 

have been made: 

• The system of records name has 

been changed from ‘‘Federal Parent 

Locator Service Child Support Services 

Portal’’ to ‘‘Child Support Portal 

Registration Records,’’ and revisions 

have been made throughout the SORN 

to clarify that the scope of the system of 

records is limited to registration records 

about individuals who register for 

access to use the Child Support Portal’s 

services. (There are no records in the 

portal; the portal is used to submit 

records to and access records in other 

OCSE systems of records.) 

• Address information in the System 

Location and System Manager sections 

has been updated. 

• The Purpose section has been 

revised to clarify that ‘‘OCSE personnel 

and contractors’’ use the registration 

records to validate registrants’ and their 

affiliated organizations’ eligibility for 

access, to authenticate their identity, 

and to state these additional purpose 

specifications (purposes for individuals 

registering to access the Child Support 

Portal): 

Æ OCSE personnel register to use the 

Child Support Portal to submit, request, 

and receive child support program 

reporting information that does not 

include personally identifiable 

information (PII), such as state plan and 

program self-assessment reports. 

Æ OCSE contractors register to use the 

Child Support Portal to perform system 

administrative support functions. 

Æ Employers’ representatives register 

to use the Child Support Portal to 

submit employer identifying and 

contact information, and employee 

status changes; provide lump sum 

payment information and a list of states 

in which the employer operates; and to 

designate a single reporting state for the 

National Directory of New Hires. 

Æ Financial institutions’ and insurers’ 

representatives register to use the Child 

Support Portal to provide information 

about financial assets and potential 

insurance payouts for child support 

obligors. 

Æ States’ and tribes’ representatives 

register to use the Child Support Portal 

to submit and access child support case 

information regarding child support 

obligor location, income, assets, and 

other inter-jurisdictional case 

information; state and tribal child 

support agencies use the Child Support 

Portal to submit federally required 

reports. 

• The Categories of Individuals 

section that describes categories of 

registrants, has been revised to: 

Æ Add employees of tribal agencies, 

and change ‘‘employees’’ of employers, 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 15 / Monday, January 24, 2022 / Notices 3553 

insurance companies, and financial 

institutions to ‘‘representatives and 

contractors’’ of those entities. 

Æ Include a summary of the purposes 

for which individuals register to access 

the Child Support Portal, as ‘‘for the 

purpose(s) of submitting or accessing 

information to process child support 

cases’’ (instead of repeating particular 

purposes, such as those now stated in 

the Purpose(s) section). 

• The Categories of Records section 

has been revised to: 

Æ List additional data elements 

collected at the time of portal access 

registration, including user name or ID 

number, business function, workload 

identifier, employer, county of 

employment, telephone number, 

telephone service provider, tribal 

affiliation, email address, name of 

employer, selected security questions 

and responses, and individual 

passwords for access to the Child 

Support Portal. 

• The Routine Uses section has been 

updated as follows: 

Æ A statement about tax information 

has been removed as not applicable to 

the user registration records covered in 

this system of records. 

Æ The opening paragraph and routine 

use 1 have been revised to remove an 

unnecessary statement that disclosures 

must be compatible with the purpose for 

which the records were collected (the 

statement is redundant, because this is 

how a routine use is defined in 5 U.S.C. 

552a(a)(7)); and the wording of routine 

use 1 (authorizing disclosures in 

litigation or other proceedings) has been 

simplified. 

Æ Routine use 2 has been revised to 

require that the constituent request, 

which is the subject of the disclosure, 

must be a ‘‘written’’ request. 

Æ The security breach-related routine 

use that was previously numbered as 

routine use 4 and was revised February 

14, 2018 (see 83 FR 6591) is now 

numbered as routine use 4(a); a second 

security breach-related routine use that 

was added in that same notice on 

February 14, 2018, is now numbered as 

routine use 4(b). 

Æ A statement that disclosures are not 

made to consumer reporting agencies, 

which was previously numbered as 

routine use 5, has been removed. 

• The Policies and Practices for 

Retention and Disposal of Records 

section has been updated to state that 

‘‘[u]pon approval of a disposition 

schedule by the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA)’’ the 

records will be deleted when OCSE 

determines that the records are no 

longer needed. 

• The Administrative, Technical, and 

Physical Safeguards section has been 

updated to: 

Æ Include information about the use 

of cloud service providers. 

Æ Clarify that the records consist of 

user registration records. 

Æ Describe the personnel authorized 

to access the records and state that their 

access is role-based. 

Æ Add information about how the 

facility where records are stored is 

physically protected. 

• The procedures for making access, 

amendment, and notification requests 

now explain how to provide verification 

of identity (instead of stating that 

identity must be verified in accordance 

with HHS’ Privacy Act regulations) and 

list date of birth and SSN as examples 

of identifying particulars to include for 

the purpose of distinguishing between 

records on individuals with the same 

name (instead of indicating that SSN 

should be included in every request).

and (2), 653(c)(5), 653(i), and 659a(c)(2). 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE) uses the NDNH 

primarily to assist states and Indian 

tribes or tribal organizations to locate 

parents; establish paternity and child 

support orders, including the 

establishment of medical support; and 

enforce child support and medical 

support orders. The NDNH is also used 

to support the following programs as 

specified in sections 453 and 463 of the 

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 653, 663): 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF), child and family 

services, foster care and adoption 

assistance; to establish or verify 

eligibility of applicants for, or 

beneficiaries of, federal and state benefit 

programs; to recoup payments or 

delinquent debts under benefit 

programs and non-tax debts owed to the 

federal government; for administration 

of the tax code; and for certain research 

purposes likely to contribute to 

achieving the purposes of the TANF 

program or the federal/state/tribal child 

support program. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

(1) Individuals who are newly hired 

‘‘employees’’ within the meaning of 

chapter 24 of the Internal Revenue Code 

of 1986, 26 U.S.C. 3401, whose 

employers have furnished specified 

information to a State Directory of New 

Hires which, in turn, has furnished such 

information to the NDNH pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 653a(g)(2)(A). 

(2) Individuals who are federal 

government employees whose 

employers have furnished specified 

information to the NDNH pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 653(n) and 653a(b)(1)(c). This 

category does not include individuals 

who are employees of a department, 

agency, or instrumentality performing 

intelligence or counterintelligence 

functions, if the head of such 

department, agency, or instrumentality 

has determined that filing such a report 

could endanger the safety of the 

employee or compromise an ongoing 

investigation or intelligence mission. 

(3) Individuals to whom 

unemployment compensation or wages 

have been paid, and about whom the 

State Directory of New Hires has 

furnished such information to the 

NDNH pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 653(e)(3)

determined that as a result of the 

suspected or confirmed breach there is 

a risk of harm to individuals, HHS 

(including its information systems, 

programs, and operations), the federal 

government, or national security; and 

(3) the disclosure made to such

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information

resulting from a suspected or confirmed 

breach. 

In addition to the above routine use 

disclosures published pursuant to the 

Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), the 

Privacy Act permits an agency to make 

other disclosures described at 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) without the data subject’s 

consent and without publishing a 

routine use. Most of those other 

disclosures are not, in fact, permissible 

for NDNH data, due to access 

restrictions stated in the NDNH statute 

at 42 U.S.C. 653(l). ACF may lawfully 

disclose NDNH data to the Comptroller 

General without the data subject’s 

consent, as permitted by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(10), and will do so upon request 

from the Comptroller General, because 

such disclosures are required by 31 

U.S.C. 721 notwithstanding the access 

restrictions imposed by the NDNH 

statute. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records in the NDNH are stored 

electronically at the Social Security 

Administration’s National Support 

Center and the OCSE Data Center. 

Historical logs and system backups are 

stored off-site at an alternate location. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records maintained in the NDNH are 

retrieved by the SSN (or TIN) of the 

individual to whom the record pertains. 

Records collected and disseminated 

from employers and other income 

sources are retrieved by state Federal 

Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 

codes and employer identification 

numbers, and records collected and 

disseminated from state IV–D child 

support enforcement agencies are 

retrieved by state FIPS codes. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Records maintained in the NDNH are 

retained for 24 months after the date of 

entry and are then deleted from the 

database pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

653(i)(2)(A) and the NARA approved 

disposition schedule, N1–292–10–2. In 

accordance with 42 U.S.C. 653(i)(2)(B), 

OCSE shall not have access, for child 

support enforcement purposes, to 

quarterly wage and unemployment 

insurance information in the NDNH if 

12 months have elapsed since the 

information was provided by a State 

Directory of New Hires pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 653A(g)(2)(B) and there has not 

been a match resulting from the use of 

such information in any information 

comparison. Notwithstanding these 

retention and disposal requirements, 

OCSE may retain such samples of data 

entered into the NDNH as OCSE may 

find necessary to assist in carrying out 

its responsibility to provide access to 

data in the NDNH for research purposes 

found by OCSE to be likely to contribute 

to achieving the purposes of Part A or 

Part D of title IV of the Social Security 

Act, but without personal identifiers, 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 653(i)(2)(C), (j)(5). 

Samples are retained only so long as 

necessary to complete such research. 

Input records for authorized matching to 

obtain NDNH information and records 

pertaining to income withholding 

collected and disseminated by OCSE are 

retained for 60 days. Audit logs, 

including information such as employer 

identification numbers, FIPS code 

numbers, document tracking numbers, 

case identification numbers and order 

identifier, are retained up to 5 years. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

The system leverages cloud service 

providers that maintain an authority to 

operate in accordance with applicable 

laws, rules, and policies, including 

Federal Risk and Authorization 

Management Program (FedRAMP) 

requirements. Specific administrative, 

technical, and physical controls are in 

place to ensure that the records 

collected and maintained in the NDNH 

are secure from unauthorized access. 

Access to the records is restricted to 

authorized personnel who are advised 

of the confidentiality of the records and 

the civil and criminal penalties for 

misuse and who sign a nondisclosure 

oath to that effect. Personnel are 

provided privacy and security training 

before being granted access to the 

records and annually thereafter. 

Logical access controls are in place to 

limit access to the records to authorized 

personnel, to limit their access based on 

their roles, and to prevent browsing. 

The records are processed and stored in 

a secure environment. All records are 

stored in an area that is physically safe 

from access by unauthorized persons at 

all times. 

Safeguards conform to the HHS 

Information Security and Privacy 

Program, which may be found at https:// 

www.hhs.gov/ocio/securityprivacy/ 

index.html.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7) and (9) and 

653(a)(1). 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The Child Support Portal system of 

records covers information provided by 

individuals who register to use the 

Child Support Portal’s services to access 

information maintained in other OCSE 

systems of records. The Child Support 

Portal is a conduit (pass-through 

system) that provides authorized users 

with access to select, highly confidential 

child support enforcement case 

information maintained in the following 

systems of records: 

• The OCSE National Directory of 

New Hires, HHS/ACF/OCSE, 09–80– 

0381; 

• the OCSE Debtor File, HHS/ACF/ 

OCSE, 09–80–0383; and 

• the OCSE Federal Case Registry of 

Child Support Orders (FCR), HHS/ACF/ 

OCSE, 09–80–0385. 

The individuals who register for 

access to use the Child Support Portal’s 

services are designated representatives 

of the following types of agencies and 

organizations: Employers, financial 

institutions and insurers, state and tribal 

child support enforcement agencies, and 

OCSE. OCSE uses the registrant 

information provided by the individuals 

and their affiliated entities to validate 

the individuals’ and organizations’ 

eligibility for access and authenticate 

their identity. 

Purposes for which individuals 

register to access the Child Support 

Portal’s services include, primarily, 

providing information to be included in 

the other systems of records identified 

above, and, in limited cases, receiving 

information from one of those systems 

of records. For example: 

• OCSE personnel use the Child 

Support Portal to submit, request, and 

receive child support program reporting 

information that does not include 

personally identifiable information (PII), 

such as state plan and program selfassessment reports. 

• OCSE contractors access the Child 

Support Portal to perform system 

administrative functions. 

• Representatives of employers use 

the Child Support Portal’s web-based 

functions to provide OCSE with the 

employer’s identifying and contact 

information, and employee status 

changes. Employers also use the Child 

Support Portal to provide lump sum 

payment information, and to provide a 

list of the states in which they operate 

and to designate a single reporting state 

to submit new hire information to the 

National Directory of New Hires. 

• Representatives of financial 

institutions and insurers use the Child 

Support Portal’s web-based functions as 

a secure means to provide information 

on financial assets and potential 

insurance payouts for delinquent 

obligors. 

• Representatives of a state child 

support agency directly use, and 

representatives of tribes under contract 

with the state child support agency 

indirectly use (i.e., through the state 

agency), the Child Support Portal’s webbased functions to submit and access 

child support case information 

regarding obligor location, income and 

assets, and other inter-jurisdictional 

case information in the NDNH and 

Federal Case Registry systems of 

records, as authorized by routine uses 

published for those systems of records. 

(Location information in those systems 

of records includes mailing addresses 

obtained from the Department of the 

Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service 

based on written requests under a 

Taxpayer Address Request Agreement 

pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6103(l)(6) that 

limits disclosure of the addresses to 

federal, state, and local child support 

agencies and their agents only for 

purposes of, and to the extent necessary 

in, establishing and collecting child 

support obligations from, and locating, 

individuals owing such obligations.) 

State and tribal child support agencies 

also use the Child Support Portal to 

submit federally required reports, such 

as state plans and program selfassessment reports, including child 

support agency performance, agency 

contact information, and child support 

program information that does not 

include personal identifiers.

longer needed for administrative, audit, 

legal, or operational purposes, and in 

accordance with the NARA-approved 

schedule. Approved disposal methods 

for electronic records and media include 

overwriting, degaussing, erasing, 

disintegration, pulverization, burning, 

melting, incineration, shredding, or 

sanding. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

The system leverages cloud service 

providers that maintain an authority to 

operate in accordance with applicable 

laws, rules, and policies, including 

FedRAMP requirements. Specific 

administrative, technical, and physical 

controls are in place to ensure that the 

user registration records are secure from 

unauthorized access. Access to the 

registration records is restricted to 

authorized personnel (including system 

support contractors) who manage Child 

Support Portal registration tasks, and 

whose access is limited based on role. 

They are provided privacy and security 

training before being granted access to 

the records and annually thereafter. 

Logical access controls are in place to 

limit access to the registration records to 

authorized personnel. The records are 

processed and stored in a secure 

environment. The individual’s SSN is 

encrypted; access to, and viewing of, the 

individual’s SSN is restricted to 

designated employees and contractors of 

OCSE solely for the purpose of verifying 

the identity of a registrant or a user of 

the Child Support Portal. All records are 

stored in an area that is physically safe 

from access by unauthorized persons at 

all times. The facility where records are 

stored are protected by security guards 

and cameras. 

Safeguards conform to the HHS 

Information Security and Privacy 

Program, which can be found at https:// 

www.hhs.gov/ocio/securityprivacy/ 

index.html.
