Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today announced it has won a competitively-bid contract renewal to process child support payments for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).

“Through innovative technology, ACS has helped the State of Ohio more efficiently operate one of the largest child support processing facilities in the country,” said Jeffrey Aldridge, deputy director, Office of Child Support, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. “ACS’ efforts are helping the state to deliver funds faster to our program participants.”

ACS processes half of the nation’s child support payments, more than $13 billion, providing services in 15 states.

“For eight years, we have worked closely with the state to ensure that we provide them with a best-fit program,” said Joseph Doherty, executive vice president and group president, ACS Government Solutions. “We are now focused on evolving our child support solutions so that they continue to exceed expectations.”
