What are the benefits of BRBCSS over other child support jurisdictions?

 

• Better Access - BRBCSS will allow clients more access to agency personnel throughout the life of their case. Clients will be able to communicate with agency staff on a regular basis. BRBCSS will strive to communicate to clients in a timely matter if there is a change in their situation.

• In-Kind payments - In-Kind payments are non-monetary resources given to the custodial parent to provide for the child named in the case, or for the household. In-Kind payments are items such as wood, fish, deer meat, clothing, school supplies, regalia, and any such items which contribute to the development of the child.

• Case Management - Clients will be able to communicate with the Court if their living situation and financial needs change and will have the opportunity to have these situations taken into consideration.

• Sovereignty- The BRBCSS Program and Tribal Court provides a legislative structure for members to be governed by their own Tribal Government. This ensures the community is being served in a way that upholds Traditional Values.

• Modifications- For cases in which BRBCSS has continuing jurisdiction, it will be easier and faster to request a hearing for a modification, if the financial situation of the parties named in the case change.
