Certification Presentation

Project Certification Committee

2. Project Overview Description Justification
The collections upgrade provides a system that eliminates many of the manual functions currently practiced such as automating the assignment of collection cases, upgrades the collection functionality to redesign collection stage flows, allows for a single collection to track debt for multiple linked accounts, provides improved reporting capabilities.
Electronic Bankruptcy Notification (EBN) is a system designed to electronically notify all affected debtors and creditors about new bankruptcy petitions, confirmed plans, court hearings, dismissals and discharges nationwide. An upgrade to the bankruptcy manager to include EBN allows some current manual actions to be done systematically upon receipt of electronic notification. It also eliminates the lag time currently happening and ensures that taxpayers who are in bankruptcy are not contacted for collections once they file bankruptcy - which is required by federal bankruptcy statutes
