State Bureau Administrator 18 - Child Support Director

Job Description

This position is being reposted. If you previously applied, your application is still being considered.

The MDHHS mission is to provide opportunities, services, and programs that promote a healthy, safe, and stable environment for residents to be self-sufficient. We are committed to ensuring a diverse workforce and a work environment whereby all employees are treated with dignity, respect and fairness. For more information, please visit our MDHHS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan .

The Director of Child Support provides leadership and direction to the Michigan Child Support Program. The Program is a cornerstone of DHHS' mission to promote child welfare, individual responsibility, self-sufficiency and family independence. Child Support is a federal and state mandated program. It is legislatively established as a single statewide administrative entity. The performance of the Child Support Program has significant impact on state revenues. Child Support programs and services are delivered, in part, directly by departmental staff, indirectly as a function of cooperative reimbursement agreements with local prosecuting attorney and friend of the court staff, and through contracted services with private sector vendors. The program serves both public assistance and non-public assistance clients. It impacts the activities of employers, financial institutions and hospitals and health care providers across Michigan and nationally. The program also impacts the operations of several operating units within DHHS (e.g. Economic Stability and Children’s Services) as well as other state agencies (e.g Treasury, Corrections, unemployment, DTMB). The director of Child Support is also responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of a major, federally mandated and certified, automated system and the State Disbursement Unit.
