Child Support Enforcement: Most States Collect Drivers' SSNs and Use Them to Enforce Child Support.

摘要

While most Motor Vehicle Agencies (MVAs) collect Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from all drivers and most Child Support Enforcement (CSE) programs use them, CSE programs in states where MVAs are not collecting SSNs as required by federal law are not receiving the benefit of SSNs from this source. SSNs from MVAs are particularly valuable because they include the SSNs of noncustodial parents that CSE programs may have had difficulty obtaining from other sources. As the oversight office for state CSE programs, Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) should know of whether MVAs are collecting SSNs from all drivers license applicants and take action, which may result in state monetary penalties, when they are not.
