This report reviews California's Child Support Enforcement program (CCSEP) and prospects for increasing support payments. Chapter I describes the structure of the CCSEP, recent collection experience, and prospects for growth in collections under current practices. Chapter II describes recent revisions in federal law concerning the program and the expected effect of the changes on collections of support payments in California. Chapter III presents an analysis of county collections in 1982-83 and reviews what is known about effective child support programs. Finally, Chapter IV discusses several actions California could take to increase its collections, including charging interest on unpaid support obligations, adjusting the current incentive payment systems, and developing computer systems. Appended are definitions of enforcement actions as well as estimates of 1982-83 AFDC collections as a function of administrative costs, total staffing, and enforcement actions. (RH)
