IN - Child support offices closed next week

The child support division of the Tippecanoe County prosecutor's office will be closed all next week to upgrade local case information in Indiana's statewide child support computer system.

Karla Mantia, director of the Child Support Bureau of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration has ordered that all child support offices statewide become compliant in the area of data reliability.

That order requires that information in the paper files of the prosecutor's office match the information on ISETS, the statewide child support computer system, said Adam Norman deputy prosecutor for child support enforcement.

If statewide data reliability is not achieved, the state of Indiana risks losing millions of dollars in federal funding for programs such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and the federal and state reimbursements to each county.

Each Indiana county his being asked to focus on this data reliability requirement, which needs to be completed by Sept. 30.

"Thus, the Tippecanoe County Child Support Division is closing to focus on this project and do its part to help make the state of Indiana in compliance," Norman said.

All court hearings involving the child support division for the week of the closure, June 17-21, will take place as scheduled. However, all other aspects of the office, including walk-ins and telephone calls to caseworkers, will not be available during the closure.

That leaves today for people to do business with the office. Otherwise, they'll have to wait until it reopens June 24.
