Attachment_A_Performance_and_Historical_Data_1.pdf

This is a Performance and Historical Data attachment for child support enforcement services in Tennessee's 7th Judicial District (Anderson County), submitted in support of a state contract opportunity managed by the Tennessee Department of Human Services. The document provides five-year performance metrics and caseload information for the 7th Judicial District and statewide comparisons across federal fiscal years 2021 through 2025. The 7th Judicial District has demonstrated paternity establishment rates ranging from 101.16% to 103.47%, cases with orders between 94.84% and 95.94%, collections on current support increasing from 63.59% to 72.13%, and collections on arrears ranging from 63.11% to 68.13%. The district's total collections distributed declined from $8.39 million in FFY 2021 to $7.75 million in FFY 2025, while open IV-D caseload decreased from 3,914 cases to 3,120 cases over the same period. Statewide performance metrics show lower paternity establishment rates (93.92% to 95.33%), lower cases with orders (83.03% to 85.51%), lower collections on current support (56.40% to 60.56%), and similar collections on arrears (61.31% to 65.15%), with statewide total collections distributed decreasing from approximately $618 million in FFY 2021 to $558 million in FFY 2025.

The historical data demonstrates that the 7th Judicial District consistently outperforms statewide averages across all key performance indicators, indicating strong operational capability in the jurisdiction. The declining caseload and collections amounts suggest either improved case closure rates, demographic shifts, or changing support obligations within the district. This performance history is relevant to the RFP requirements, which mandate minimum performance standards including 95% paternity establishment, 66.50% to 67.50% support order establishment, and 65% to 66% payments on arrears cases by federal fiscal year, with potential liquidated damages of up to 2% of annual compensation for non-compliance.
