Kansas notes low child support collection rate in 2014
Data show only 54.04 percent of current support due was collected in fiscal year 2014, the lowest in more than a decade, while costs per dollar collected fell. Gov Brownback called privatization of the program cost efficient, with $5.89 collected for every $1 spent, though overall collections declined from 2013 as new cases and ACA-related changes affected totals. Trisha Thomas cited cost effectiveness rising after privatization as the key trend.
