Information

Request/Subject

Amendment No. 3 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. DI16-002156)(IGA) with the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES) for Title IV-D child support services in Gila County.

Background Information

On February 2, 2016, the Gila County Board of Supervisors approved the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES) for Title IV-D child support services in Gila County.

Since 1992, Gila County has contracted with ADES to provide Title IV-D child support services in Gila County through the Office of the Gila County Attorney. The title IV-D child support program is a federal program that reimburses states for providing child support services. In Arizona, ADES contracts with the County to provide these services in Gila County. Program costs are reimbursed by federal funds on the basis of sixty-six cents for each dollar spent on the program. Additionally, because the program also helps reimburse the federal government for monies expended for welfare for needy families (TANF-Temporary Assistance to Needy Families), the program receives a share of the money it saves in federal welfare (SSRE). Finally, the program receives federal incentive payments based upon paternity establishment, support order establishment, collection of current support, arrears collection, and cost-effectiveness.

Evaluation

Approving the amendment to this IGA will allow the Child Support Division of the Gila County Attorney’s Office to continue providing child support services to Gila County residents.

Conclusion

Approving the amendment to the IGA will allow Gila County to continue to provide superior child support enforcement services to the people of Gila County.

Recommendation

The Gila County Attorney recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment No. 3 to the IGA with ADES for the provision of Title IV-D services in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve Amendment No. 3 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract ID # DI16-002156) with the Arizona Department of Economic Security to extend the Title IV-D child support services contract agreement from October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021. (Jeff Dalton)
