Method and apparatus for electronic collection, translation, grouping, and delivery of wage assignment information
First Claim
1. A method of processing wage assignment information performed by a data processor, comprising:
- receiving wage assignment information from a plurality of sources;
generating a mapping rules database, the mapping rules database including codes necessary to translate wage assignment information into an electronic data interchange (EDI) compatible file according to the ANSI X12 standard 521 record set;
translating the wage assignment information into at least one EDI compatible electronic file according to the ANSI X12 standard 521 record set using the mapping rules database.

Abstract
A system electronically collects, translates, groups, and delivers wage assignment information from at least one initiator to at least one recipient via an accumulator. An initiator initially receives the wage assignment information. Then, an accumulator collects the wage assignment information from at least one initiator, such as a government agency. The accumulator then translates the wage assignment information into a format compatible with electronic data interchange (EDI), such as the ANSI X12 standard. The accumulator then groups the EDI wage assignment information into specific files, batching the files based upon one data field contained within the wage assignment information data set, such as a recipient. The accumulator then delivers a batched EDI wage assignment file to each respective recipient. Once the EDI wage assignment file is received by the recipient, the wage assignment may then be implemented.
