1. In acting as the official agency of the state in administering the child support program under title IV-D, the state agency, directly or through agents and human service zones: a. Shall use high-volume automated administrative enforcement, to the same extent as used in intrastate cases, in response to a request made by another state to enforce a child support order, and shall promptly report the results of such enforcement procedure to the requesting state; b. May transmit requests, by electronic or other means, to other states for assistance in cases involving enforcement of child support orders which include information provided and intended to enable the receiving state to compare information about the case to information in the databases of the receiving state, and which constitute a certification: (1) Of the amount of arrearages, if any, under the child support order; and (2) That procedural due process requirements applicable to the case have been complied with; c. In cases in which the state agency receives requests made by another state to enforce a child support order, shall not consider that matter a child support case transferred to this state, but may establish a corresponding case based on the other state's request for assistance; and d. Shall maintain records of: (1) The number of requests for assistance made by other states; (2) The number of cases in which this state collected support in response to requests made by other states; and (3) The amount of support collected. 2. For purposes of this section, the term "high -volume automated administrative enforcement" means, in interstate cases, on request of another state, the identification, by this state, 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 another state, and the seizure of such assets, by this state, through levy or other appropriate processes.
