Who is responsible for providing the written documentation?
The prevailing party or beneficiary must provide his attorney with written documentation of arrears from the Pennsylvania Child Support Enforcement System website. A statement must also be provided if no arrears are owed. If the prevailing party or beneficiary is not represented by an attorney, he must provide the written documentation of arrears or no arrears to the Insurer. If written documentation is not provided, an attorney or Insurer may use the services of a private judgment search company approved by DPW to obtain the statement if arrears are owed or not. Any fee incurred by the attorney or Insurer for this process may be deducted from the settlement payment to the insured. Additionally, an Insurer may use the services of the Insurance Services Office (ISO) to match data with the Child Support Lien Network (CSLN) to report the pending insurance award.
