    Title: Information Comparison With Insurance Data.
    OMB No.: 0970-0342.
    Description: The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 amended Section 452 
of the Social Security Act (the Act) to authorize the Secretary, 
through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct 
comparisons of information concerning individuals owing past-due child 
support with information maintained by insurers (or their agents) 
concerning insurance claims, settlements, awards, and payments. 42 
U.S.C. 652(m)(1).
    An insurer may choose to participate in the data comparison using 
one of the following methods:
    <bullet> An insurer submits information concerning claims, 
settlements, awards, and payments to the federal Office of Child 
Support and Enforcement (OCSE). OCSE compares the information with 
parents who owe past-due support.
    <bullet> OCSE sends a file containing information about parents who 
owe past-due support to the insurer, or their agent to compare with 
their claims, settlements, awards, and payments. The insurer or their 
agent sends the matches to OCSE.
    On a daily basis, OCSE sends the results of the comparison in the 
Insurance Match Response Record to child support agencies responsible 
for collecting past-due support. Child support agencies use the matches 
to collect past-due support from the insurance proceeds.
    The information collection activities pertaining to the information 
comparison with insurance data are authorized by:
    (1) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(9) which requires the federal Office of Child 
Support Enforcement (OCSE) to operate the FPLS established by 42 U.S.C. 
653(a)(1); and
    (2) 42 U.S.C. 652(m) which authorizes OCSE, through the FPLS, to 
compare information concerning individuals owing past-due support with 
information maintained by insurers (or their agents) concerning 
insurance claims, settlements, awards, and payments, and to furnish 
information resulting from the data matches to the state child support 
agencies responsible for collecting child support from the individuals.
    Respondents: Insurers or their agents, including the U.S. 
Department of Labor and state agencies administering workers' 
compensation programs, and the Insurance Services Office (ISO).
