Active duty,
Reserve,

All requests for information from the Expanded FPLS will go through the Wyoming State Parent Locator Service (SPLS) as described in 7.3 Locate – Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service.
The DMDC returns FPLS requests on a weekly basis as described below:
Active military – unit duty address,
Reserve/National Guard – unit duty address,
Retired military – home address and annual salary, and
Retired civilian – home address and annual salary.
Information included on the quarterly wage data report from the DMDC is listed in Appendix 15.E – DMDC Quarterly Wage Report Data.
In addition to the FPLS, the case worker may need to request locate information from the World Wide Military Locator Service. In order to access the World Wide Military Locator Service, the case worker will need the full-name of the alleged father/non-custodial parent and social security number. See Appendix 15.D – World Wide Locator Military Services for detailed information regarding each branch of the armed services.
Note: If the person does not have a social security number, contact the State CSP Office person responsible for contacting the Social Security Administration with the name and date of birth of the person. See also 7.5 Locate - Other Locate Sources.
