(a) Each local child support agency shall report the following data to the Department for calculation of federal performance measures.

(1) Paternity establishment percentage. The performance measure will be calculated as follows:

The total number of children for whom paternity has been established during the reporting period compared to the total number of children in the caseload who require the establishment of paternity.

(2) Percent of cases with a child support order. The performance measure will be calculated as follows:

The total number of cases with support orders as compared with the total caseload. Support orders are broadly defined as all legally enforceable orders, including orders for health insurance and zero support orders.

(3) Percent of current support collected. The performance measure will be calculated as follows:

The total amount of current support collected as compared to the total amount of current support owed.

(4) Percent of arrears collected. The performance measure will be calculated as follows:

The total number of cases in the caseload for which arrears were collected compared to the total number of cases in the caseload for which arrears are owed.

(5) Cost-effectiveness. The performance measure will be calculated as follows:

The total amount of child support collected and distributed as compared to each dollar expended by the local child support agency. For the purposes of this measurement, the electronic data processing costs for consortia counties will be allocated to each county, based on actual costs.

(b) These performance measures shall be reported to the Department in accordance with the requirements of Section 111920. Failure to report, or the reporting of inaccurate data shall be subject to provisions of subsection (c) of Section 111920.
