Nebraska Child Support Collection and Disbursement System Implementation Project

The purpose of this project was to conduct a study of child support issues to recommend how Nebraska can preserve existing strengths and reduce or eliminate weakness in its child support customer service system as the state complied with a federal mandate to centralize the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) for the receipting and disbursement of child support payments.

Key Partners
The PPC worked closely with an intergovernmental Work Group, consisting of representatives from the Unicameral, the Nebraska Child Support Enforcement/IV-D agency, the Governor's Office, the State Court Administrator's Office, and the District Court Clerk's Association.

Funding
The Executive Board of the Nebraska Legislature
