Business Wire
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced
it has won a competitively-bid contract renewal to process child
support payments for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services
(ODJFS). The new contract has a potential nine-year term,
consisting of a one-year base and four two-year options, and is
valued at $163 million if all option years are exercised.
ACS, a leader in the field of child support systems and
services, has operated Ohio’s Child Support Payment Central (CSPC)
since 2002, providing payment processing, customer service and
other mission-critical functions. Nearly all custodial parents in
the state receive child support payments electronically by direct
deposit or the Ohio e-QuickPay debit card, an ACS innovation that
provides convenience, flexibility and relief from check cashing
fees.
“Through innovative technology, ACS has helped the State of Ohio
more efficiently operate one of the largest child support
processing facilities in the country,” said Jeffrey Aldridge,
deputy director, Office of Child Support, Ohio Department of Job
and Family Services. “ACS’ efforts are helping the state to deliver
funds faster to our program participants.”
ACS processes half of the nation’s child support payments, more
than $13 billion, providing services in 15 states.
“For eight years, we have worked closely with the state to
ensure that we provide them with a best-fit program,” said Joseph
Doherty, executive vice president and group president, ACS
Government Solutions. “We are now focused on evolving our child
support solutions so that they continue to exceed
expectations.”
As the largest provider of business process solutions and one of
the largest information technology service providers to the
nation’s public sector, ACS serves as an operational partner to
more than 1,700 government agencies on the federal, state, county
and local level.
The work of ACS touches millions of people every day. ACS

nearly 570 million Medicaid claims each year totaling more than $50
billion in provider payments; saves state child care programs
