Office of Recovery Services: Paternity Project

In the summer of 2005, the Office of Recovery Services received funding for an 1115 demonstration grant with the stated purpose: “to facilitate an effective paternity establishment program in collaboration between the Office of Recovery Services, Child Support Services (ORS/CRS) and the Office of Vital Records and Statistics (OVR), Department of Health” (90FD0104 Grant Application).

There were two proposed phases for accomplishing this goal. The first involved adaptation of current technology (PATER Registry), and the second involved the coordination of community outreach materials and services (Paternity Matters Project). Both areas have significant impact on the paternity establishment percentage (PEP), the increasing of which is an anticipated outcome through the successful completion of the 1115 demonstration grant.
