State Systems Automation & Technology
OCSE provides guidance and technical assistance to states to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their child support systems. We provide support through research, planning and design, consultation, site visits, toolkits, training, and demonstration projects.
With a highly automated system:
- Caseworkers have more time to focus on complex cases
- States can adhere to mandated timeframes to achieve successful outcomes
- Case data is more reliable, secure, and readily available
- Data exchange and information sharing is more comprehensive and useful
- Reporting can be predictive, analytic and versatile
- Customer service is improved and available at multiple points of contact
