This topic contains information on the following subjects:
1. Data that is required when entering court orders in ACTS;
CSE caseworkers must record court order data in ACTS to allow the system to process the case properly and to maintain the case history. This includes the docket number; the order and start dates; the location of the court hearing; the order type; a variety of indicators related to proration, health insurance/medical support, and any deviation from the suggested obligation amount; and the financial provisions of the order.
Each support order is identified by a unique docket number. The Clerk of Court assigns a docket number to the order when a support action is initially filed. This order and any future modifications to it are always identified by the assigned docket number. It facilitates the generation of legal documents, as well as the early receipting of payments.
Caseworkers must enter the financial provisions of the order by creating an "extension". When an extension to the order is entered, ACTS creates a corresponding subaccount to track the movement of funds through the system. Each extension must specify the type of support and the type of financial obligation within that support type.
