  assistance  shall  notify  the department of a security interest arising
  for failure to make payments of child  support  or  combined  child  and
  spousal  support,  including  data  standards  for  determining that the
  person against whom such lien will be imposed is the person  owing  such
  arrears;
    (2)  the procedures under which the office of temporary and disability
  assistance shall notify the department that an individual has  satisfied
  the security interest;
    (3)  the  procedure,  subject  to  the approval of the director of the

  and section one hundred eleven-u of the social services law;

    (c) A security interest arising under section two  hundred  eleven  of

  issued to such person for the same or any other vehicle.

  unencumbered  by  such lien which was not recorded on the certificate of
  title used to transfer the vehicle.
