چکیده
This paper describes an on-going e-government pilot project to implement an electronic child support disbursement system in the state of Indiana. The new electronic disbursement system is designed to replace the current paper-based check system with a dual electronic system of direct bank deposits for custodial parents with bank accounts and commercial debit cards with a MasterCard logo for unbanked custodial parents, referred to as the Hoosier Works card. We discuss the planned development of the new electronic disbursement system and lay out the framework of the comprehensive evaluation plan built into the project’s design.
