SECTION 55.603. Insurance Services Office Data Match

(a) An insurer can conduct an automatic data match of its pending claims against a list of delinquent child support obligors maintained by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). ISO is an industry service provider, located in New Jersey, which provides a claim search service to assist subscribing insurers in fraud detection.

(b) An insurer participating in the automated data matching process must give ISO permission to match the insurer's claim data with Child Support Lien Network (CSLN) or the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE).

(c) CSLN matches its list of child support obligors daily against the ISO claim data. ISO returns matches to OCSE to distribute to the State child support agency(ies) responsible for collecting past-due support.

(d) A participating insurer will receive a notice of child support lien (or withholding instrument for a workers' compensation claim) only on those claims that the insurer has registered with ISO and that match the name of an obligor who owes past-due child support. Claims information that does not match individuals who owe past-due support is discarded.
