KENTUCKY CSE - SAVES TIME SEARCHING FOR NCPS

According to the Kentucky Division of Child Support Enforcement (CSE), the time
spent searching for each individual non-custodial parent (NCP) has gone,
generally, from weeks to minutes.  In just 90 days, the Kentucky CSE was able to
locate 40% of its “watched” NCPs. Staff now have more time to devote to meeting
new clients, attending court dates, and pursuing other NCPs who are more
difficult to locate. 


Testimonial


STATE AGENCIES SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING OVERPAYMENTS

The California Department of Health Care Services determined that 1,800
beneficiaries were actually ineligible to receive benefits, with projected cost
savings of $7.4 million over 24 months. 

The Illinois Department of Employment Security saved $8.6 million in improper
payments, detected $1.8 million in overpayments, and successfully recovered
$659,000.




“This is the most valuable tool in our child support enforcement arsenal.”

Jacob Van Der Oort, Kentucky Division of Child Support
