ACS Innovation Helps The State Of Illinois’ Child Support Program Save $40 Million

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.”

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 manages 27 electronic payment card programs for state and federal clients, disbursing government payments and benefits; processes nearly 570 million Medicaid claims each year totaling more than $50 billion in provider payments; saves state child care programs millions of dollars; services student loans for more than 11 million borrowers; and facilitates more than 75 million online searches for unclaimed property per year.
