¹ The Total Unique Persons in the FCR is derived by unduplicating SSNs across all participant types. The figures for the individual participant types are unduplicated within that category but not between them--i.e., an individual may appear in more than one category, but is only counted once within that category and only once in the total. As a result, the counts for the individual participant types may not add up to the Total Unique Persons in the FCR. In addition, an individual can be a child support case participant in more than one state; in these situations they are counted in the total for each individual state in which they are a participant but are only counted once in the nationwide total. As a result, the individual state totals add up to more than the nationwide total.
² Some states code their Putative Fathers as NCPs when submitting them to the FCR. For those states Putative Fathers are included in the NCP figure instead of the PF figure, which is zero.
