Percentage of child support payment benchmarked against State average

The County Department of Child Support Services measures the percent of custodial parents who receive a payment towards arrears towards past-due child support within the fiscal year. This dataset also benchmarked against the State average.

The Department of Child Support Services intends to increase the share of child support dollars collected of those owed for minor children on the agency caseload, a federal performance measure tracked and reported by the State of California Department of Child Support Services and a direct indicator of the Department's ability to increase collections. This number is benchmarked against the State average to compare this Department's performance against other counties in California.
