AUTOMATED ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT IN INTERSTATE CASES (§ 63.2-1932.1)

A. The Department shall use high-volume automated administrative enforcement, to
the same extent as used for intrastate cases, in response to a request made by
another state to enforce support orders, and shall promptly report the results
of such enforcement procedure to the requesting state. For purposes of this
section, &#8220;high volume automated administrative enforcement&#8221; in
interstate cases means, on the request of another state, the identification by
the Department, through automated data matches with financial institutions and
other entities where assets may be found, of assets owned by persons who owe
child support in other states, and the seizure of such assets by the Department
through levy or other appropriate processes.

B. The Department may, by electronic or other means, transmit to another state a
request for assistance in enforcing child support orders through high-volume
automated administrative enforcement. The request shall (i) include such
information as will enable the state to which the request is transmitted to
compare the information about the cases to the information in the data bases of
the state; and (ii) shall constitute a certification by the Department of the
amount of support in arrears and of the Department&#8217;s compliance with all
procedural due process requirements applicable to each case.

C. If the Department provides assistance to another state pursuant to this
section, neither the Department nor the state shall consider the case to be
transferred to the caseload of the other state.

D. The Department shall maintain records of (i) the number of such requests for
assistance pursuant to this section; (ii) the number of cases for which the
Department collected support in response to such a request; and (iii) the amount
of such collected support.
