• Progress– Conference calls with states and FIs– OCSE currently in research, analysis, and feasibility stage.
• Barriers– Legislation requiring states to send freezes and seizes via
certified mail.– Over collecting if an NCP has multiple bank accounts at
separate institutions.• Next Steps
– OCSE to schedule follow up conference calls with states and FIs.

• Made up of 18 states entering into an Alliance to outsource in-state FIDM programs.
• Formed to cooperatively develop, issue and oversee these FIDM operations.
• Cross border FIDM matching done on a state to state agreement basis.
• Each participating state is responsible for entering into individual contracts with the selected contractor that oversees the program.
• Texas is the lead state of the Alliance for the purpose of procurement.

Oklahoma Interstate FIDM checklist
Will the financial institution accept a direct levy? Look at the financial institution and the state where it is located
If both state and the financial institutions do not allow for direct levy, review whether state will accept an AEI referral
If state where funds are located is an IDEC member, review freeze and seize requirements: is an electronic AEI request possible?
