Submitting Parent Locator Information

Government agencies are required by law to send a biweekly and quarterly file containing data on new hires to the Federal Parent Locator Service, a part of the Social Security Administration. The Federal Parent Locator Service uses the data to track and enforce child support payments.

To submit parent locator information:

1. Create an interface file using the New Hire Reporting run control page.

2. Send the file to the Social Security Administration.

   You will receive the file back from the Social Security Administration.

3. Process the file received from the Social Security Administration using the New Hire Error Reporting run control page.

   The report created by this process lists errors that were sent previously so that they can be corrected for the next time you send the file.

At any point in the process, you can use the New Hire Reporting Stats page to view statistics about the new hire data exports.
