The officers and employees of the institution or employer shall furnish the information on the written demand of the director. A demand directed to a financial institution or an employer shall be in the form of a subpoena issued by the director under section 8 when the identification of applicants and recipients to the financial institution or employer is by means of computer tape or other data process media. The institution or employer shall furnish the information within 15 days after the demand or subpoena is received by the institution or employer.

(3) The director of the state department shall cooperate with the Michigan employment security commission in the development of a computer data matching system by which records of the department of social services concerning applicants for, and recipients of, assistance under this act shall be compared with claimant and wage information requested on at least a quarterly basis from, and furnished by, the Michigan employment security commission pursuant to sections 11 and 13 of the Michigan employment security act, Act No. 1 of the Public Acts of the Extra Session of 1936, being sections 421.11 and 421.13 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
