About this file
This is a Security Agreement between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Support, establishing security requirements for the administration of the Child Support program. The agreement specifies management, operational, and technical security controls that the state agency must implement to protect Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) information and Child Support program information across all systems, personnel, facilities, and contractors involved in processing such data. The security agreement becomes effective upon signature by authorized officials and remains in effect for four years, with OCSE retaining the right to update requirements through written notification to which the state agency must provide written assurance of compliance.
The agreement encompasses comprehensive security requirements across three categories: management controls including personnel oversight and awareness training; operational controls addressing access restrictions, physical security, incident reporting, and facility management; and technical controls covering logical access limits, encryption standards (FIPS 140-2), audit trail systems, and network access controls. The state agency must conduct annual security certifications and submit them to OCSE by July 22 each year, arrange for independent security assessments every three years, and maintain biennial system security reviews. All personnel with access to FPLS or Child Support program information must sign non-disclosure agreements and complete security training prior to access and annually thereafter. The agreement requires immediate notification (within one hour) to the designated FPLS Director of any suspected or confirmed security breaches, with the state IV-D director or designee responsible for all investigation, mitigation, notification, and remediation activities associated with any data breach incidents.

I. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
The purpose of this security agreement is to specify the management, operational, and technical security controls that the state agency administering the Child Support (CS) program shall have in place to ensure the security of Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) information and CS program information and the information systems that transmit, store, and process FPLS information and CS program information.
By signing this security agreement, the state CS agency agrees to comply with the security requirements established by the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA), 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 653(m), 654(26), 42 USC 654a(d)(1)-(5), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). The state CS agency also agrees to use FPLS information and CS program information solely for the authorized purposes in accordance with the terms in this security agreement between the state CS agency and OCSE.
The state CS agency requests submitted to the FPLS are made solely to locate a parent for the purpose of establishing paternity, securing child support, or where applicable, to locate a parent in a parental kidnapping case, establish or enforce a child custody or visitation order, and for other purposes specified in federal law and regulations. The information exchanged between state CS agencies and all other state program information may only be used for authorized purposes under federal law and regulations (see 45 CFR 303.21) and must be protected against unauthorized access to reduce fraudulent activities and protect the privacy rights of individuals against unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.
In this security agreement (including the addendum), “state CS agency” means the single and separate state agency responsible for carrying out the child support program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act and required to operate child support data systems under 42 U.S.C.
454(3), (24), (26), (27) and (28) as a condition of federal funding, and its agents and designees, including all of the individuals and entities described in this agreement. “Information” and “data” mean all forms of information or data described in this agreement.
In this security agreement (including the addendum), “State IV-D director or Designee” means the individual designated to administer the state CS program.

Office of Child Support Enforcement and State Agency Administering the Child Support Program
State Child Support Agency - Security Agreement 2019
Attachment A Request for Proposal Number 210000001793
This security agreement is applicable to the personnel, facilities, documentation, data, electronic and physical records and other machine-readable information, and the information systems of the state CS agency, including, but not limited to, state employees and contractors working with FPLS information and CS program information and state CS agency data centers, statewide centralized data centers, contractor data centers, state Health and Human Services’ data centers, and any other individual or entity collecting, storing, transmitting, or processing FPLS information and CS program information.
Information originally transmitted from the FPLS to the state CS agency does not lose its character as FPLS information but remains FPLS information until its destruction; nor do the safeguarding requirements end when the information is transmitted to state CS agencies or other entities.
This security agreement is applicable to all FPLS information, which consists of the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH), Debtor File, and the Federal Case Registry (FCR), and all associated applications and resources. The NDNH, Debtor File, and FCR are components of an automated national information system which locates employment, income, asset and home address information on parents in child support cases for state CS agencies. The NDNH contains new hire (W-4), quarterly wage (QW), and unemployment insurance (UI) information on employees in both the public and private sector. The Debtor File contains personal information in identifiable form, including names, Social Security numbers (SSNs), arrearages, and other private data. The FCR collects and maintains records provided by state CS agency registries, which include abstracts of support orders and information from child support cases with name, SSN, state case identification number, state Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, county code, case type, sex, date of birth, mother’s maiden name, father’s name, participant type (custodial party, noncustodial parent, alleged father, child), family violence indicator (domestic violence or child abuse), order indicator, locate request type, and requested locate source.
This security agreement is applicable to all locate information obtained from external federal agencies and transmitted through the FPLS. These agencies include the U.S. Department of Defense which provides information on active military members, the Veterans Administration which provides information on beneficiaries, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which provides information on employees of the FBI (if the agency can share the information without compromising national security), and the Social Security Administration which provides disability and retirement income, Supplemental Security Income, death information, and prisoner information on 6,500 federal, state, and local facilities.
This security agreement is applicable to all CS program information designated as confidential under federal law or regulation because the information relates to a specified individual or an individual who can be identified by reference to one or more factors specific to him or her, including, but not limited to, the individual’s SSN, residential and mailing addresses, employment information, and financial information. Ref. 45 CFR 303.21(a).

III. CLOUD SOLUTION (OPTIONAL)
The state child support agency may choose to use cloud computing to distribute services over broader architectures. The cloud service provider must be Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certified in order to meet federal security requirements for cloud-based computing or data storage solutions. Cloud implementations are defined by the service model and deployment model used. Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service are examples of cloud service models for cloud implementation. The
State Child Support Agency - Security Agreement 2019 deployment models may include private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud. Data security requirements as defined below still must be met regardless of the type of cloud implementation chosen.
1. The cloud-based solution must reside on a FedRAMP compliant system. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.
2. Use of a cloud solution must be approved in advance by OCSE before connectivity to FPLS information and confidential child support program information can be established. States that have already established a cloud solution housing FPLS information need to send official notification of this major change to OCSE.
3. The state child support agency and the cloud service provider must comply with all requirements in this agreement, including the security addendum of the agreement and data retention policies agreed upon by the state child support agency and OCSE to ensure that all required statutory requirements are met. The state child support agency must ensure such compliance by the cloud service provider.
4. The data stored by the cloud service provider should ONLY be used for the authorized purpose of the matching program.
5. It is the obligation of the matching partner to ensure that the cloud housing the FPLS information and confidential child support program information is stored domestically and is specified in the contract or Service Level Agreement between the matching partner and the cloud service provider.
IV. RETENTION AND DISPOSITION REQUIREMENTS
The state CS agency shall erase FPLS information and CS program information when data is no longer required for authorized purposes. FPLS information and CS program information in an individual’s case file should be safeguarded per the security requirements of this security agreement.
