State Performance Measures

Family Code Section 17602 requires the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) to adopt performance standards effective January 1, 2001. The performance standards outlined in Family Code Section 17602 (a) are adopted as the state performance measures. In addition DCSS adopted the five federal performance measures.
The nine state measures are reported quarterly. They are:

Percent of cases with a court order for current support.

This performance standard measures the ration of cases that have an order for current support established. This measure will not include medically needy only cases.

Percent of cases with collections for current support.

This performance standard measures the ratio of cases in which at lest one payment for current support has been collected during the reporting period as compared with cases due current support.

Average amount collected per case for all cases with collections.

ance standard measures the collections on a per case basis. This will be a reflection of the average collection for cases receiving some collections in the reporting period.
