Child Support Internet Payment Service<br />
The Division <strong>of</strong> Child Support (DCS) collects and distributes over 250,000 payments<br />
per month worth approximately $50 million. Processing <strong>the</strong>se payments is a timeconsuming,<br />
labor-intensive operation. A large staff is required to manually process<br />
<strong>the</strong> payments to meet <strong>the</strong> federal time requirements.<br />
The Child Support Internet Payment Service (CSIPS) allows individuals and<br />
employers to remit child support payments using electronic funds transfer by using<br />
an internet site that allows total control and flexibility to <strong>the</strong> user.<br />
