Gila County Attorney's Child Support Division Ranked Top in the Country

A report released by the Arizona Department of Economic Security Division of Child Support Enforcement ranks Gila County number one in total federal incentive scores.

Several years ago the federal government began ranking the states on five different child support performance measures in order to divide up a fixed amount of federal money among the states. Arizona uses the same performance measures to divide its federal incentive money among the state’s county attorney offices. The report shows that if Gila County were a state, its combined incentive scores would make it the top child support program in the country.

Gila County Attorney Daisy Flores says she is pleased with the report. She also notes that her office recently received perfect scores for the third time in a row on its internal performance audit. The Child Support Division says it is unaware of any other Arizona child support office ever receiving even one perfect annual audit score.
