Critical/Strategic Planning Initiatives
Despite a struggling economy and a challenging budget, CSSD
has worked on several organizational changes to continue to
improve their overall performance. The Department has
continued to improve its percentage rate in the area of current
child support collections, which is one of the key measures for
the program. To date this federal fiscal year, CSSD collections
are at 55.7 percent. Last year at this time, this measure was at
51.5 percent and just two years ago collections were at
45.3 percent.

CSSD also continues to align performance measures with the
County’s Strategic Plan and the federal and State measures for
local child support agencies. The Department will continue to
engage senior, mid-level and line staff to identify areas within
the Department requiring improvement, strategize, redesign
and implement business practices to optimize resources and
increase performance. The Department will continue to
implement its Business Process Redesign project which
encourages case ownership and identifies key areas within the
Department’s case processing structure which require
modification or refinement.
