FRANKFORT, KY (Nov. 18, 2014) - The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) has announced the state’s 20 top-performing child support collection partners, and recognized one that has made significant improvement during the past year.



The winners were announced today at a conference in Covington hosted by the CHFS Child Support Enforcement program (CSE).

The CSE administers child support enforcement jointly with local contracting officials for all 120 counties.

CHFS Secretary Audrey Tayse Haynes attended the conference and thanked the staff and all stakeholders who attended.

“Child support enforcement is all about providing for children, and that is what all of you do so well,” she said. “Through your work, you promote parental responsibility so that children receive support from both parents even when they live in separate households. It is not always easy, but you define the spirit of public service.”

“The hard work of our contractors and administrative staff protects and supports families during a difficult period of time,” said Department for Income Support Commissioner Steve Veno, who leads the CSE. “In every Kentucky county, they are devoted to improving services so the children they serve get the financial support that they deserve. We are pleased to honor these top performers.”

Contracting officials are ranked based on their paternity establishments, the establishment of child support orders, child support collections and past-due collections.
