The State of Illinois has announced that new technology
implemented by Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) will
enable the state to cut costs and more efficiently distribute child
support payments.
ACS operates the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) for the Illinois
Department of Healthcare and Family Services, processing child
support payments and providing customer care services. The SDU,
which ACS has operated since 2003, receives and distributes more
than seven million child support payments annually valued at more
than $1 billion.
ACS is increasing efficiency by integrating all of the
technology within the SDU into a unified solution. The new
technology will save the state $40 million through fiscal year
2015.
ACS is a leader in child support services—processing half of the
nation’s child support payments, more than $13 billion through
services in 15 states.
“Our work in Illinois shows how ACS innovation can positively
affect both operations and costs,” said Joseph Doherty, executive
vice president and group president, ACS Government Solutions.
“Helping the state to provide improved service and save money is
the core of ACS’ mission.”
