Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) has recognized the state's 20 most successful child support collection partners from the past year, along with other employees who have increased payments for families served by the child support program.

The Frankfort ceremony was hosted by the CHFS Child Support Enforcement program (CSE), which is part of the CHFS Department for Income Support (DIS). CSE administers child support throughout Kentucky and contracts with local officials to manage responsibilities jointly. DIS Commissioner W. Bryan Hubbard, who leads the CSE Division said child support is a lifeline.



"Child Support Enforcement functions as the third largest anti-poverty program in the United States. Kentucky's Child Support Enforcement program delivers more than $400,000,000 in child support payments every year to families across the Commonwealth," Hubbard said. "The delivery of this financial lifeline requires the devoted commitment of state child support staff, 120 county attorney offices, and the hundreds of individuals who drive the mission."
