Innovating child support
Explore a cloud-native solution designed for child support
Common Limitations of Legacy Child Support Systems
How is your state modernizing child support?
Child support agencies across the nation face challenges in serving the families who rely on their services.
In many cases, how states respond to changing needs is limited not by their desire to improve, but by aging and inflexible technology.
By replacing old tools with more powerful ones, states can set—and achieve—more ambitious visions.
Accenture presents a cloud-native, purpose-built child support solution offering a rich feature set across all child support disciplines. With this modern child support platform, agencies can achieve their goals for better outcomes and higher efficiency.
Common limitations of legacy child support systems
Mainframe-based systems are difficult and costly to maintain
These systems lack automation and other innovative tools to drive productivity and efficiency
Legacy systems are unable to deliver the modern experience workers and families now expect

Michigan’s Office of Child Support
Michigan’s Office of Child Support (OCS) plays a crucial role in helping to ensure children receive the financial support they need even when their parents are not together.
The OCS wanted to address a key challenge: that as many as one in five child support cases kept getting "stuck" in pre-obligation, the first step in obtaining an obligation to pay child support.
As a result, too many children were waiting to receive support, and the OCS was at risk of not meeting federal child support guidelines for the percentage of open cases for which obligation is established.
Reflecting Michigan’s strategic goal of using analytics to improve child support services and outcomes for families, the OCS decided to test predictive analytics as a tool for understanding—and reversing—that trend.
A pilot by the Office of Child Support within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services shows how analytics help shape better outcomes.
