This paper describes two case studies that illustrate how a data mining approach has helped agencies collect more Support payments and use their collection resources more effectively. Using data mining to identify payers who are likely to become delinquent helps Child Support agencies build effective intervention strategies for collecting payments . Predictive modeling is also used to determine which intervention strategies are effective for various types of payers.
