DESCHUTES COUNTY
CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
Oregon's Child Support Enforcement program is primarily supported by Federal
Matching Funds and Federal Incentives Funds. The goal of the Deschutes County District
Attorney's Office is to return the DA caseload (non-assistance cases) to the DA's Office
to provide the best enforcement of court ordered support for the children of Deschutes
County. Enforcing support for children promotes healthy family relationships, health
care coverage for children, economic stability and emotional support.
The Oregon Child Support Program was established in 1975 under Title IV -D of the
Social Security Act. The Oregon program consists of two primary partners, the
Department of Justice Division of Child Support (DCS) and County District Attorneys
(DA).
In 2001 the Deschutes County DA CSE Program was transferred to the Department of
Justice by an Intergovernmental Agreement. In exchange for DCS assuming Deschutes
County DA's support enforcement responsibilities, DCS receives all of the Federal
incentives and other funds for the program.
In Oregon, Child Support case loads are divided into two types of caseloads, the DA
caseload for families and children not receiving public assistance and the DCS caseload
for families and children involving current and former recipients' of public assistance
where support rights are or have been assigned to the state as a condition of receiving
cash assistance.
CSE statewide reporting show that when the DA caseload that is assigned to aDA's
office has had a higher percentage of collections than the mixed caseload .
The return of the DA case load to Deschutes County will provide increased enforcement,
strengthen our partnership with DCS, and ensure that the children of Deschutes County
are provided with every opportunity for the financial support they deserve.
