The Data Integrity unit reviews, processes and updates data on Child Support Management System (CSMS) and Automated State Support Tracking System (ASSETS) case level and account level cases to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data and the proper functioning of automated case processing systems in compliance with agency operations and policy and federal and state mandates. This is accomplished through comprehensive case reviews, computer matches, data enrichment from contracted sources, and through the use of case/data exception and action reports. These reports are managed through OCSE Web, which helps with data capture, data gathering, and reporting. Particular emphasis is placed on increasing the likelihood of successful case actions as measured by the federal performance indicators. If the data/information entered into the system is inaccurate, identifying and locating the non-custodial parent (NCP) becomes a challenge, which ultimately hinders the case from obtaining a court order. Improving the review of case data facilitates productive data matches, which increases OCSS’s ability to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain a child support order.
