The unit implements programs that have been previously authorized by law and continually seeks to find new automated enforcement collection initiatives.

This work must be done while ensuring that private companies and clients are well served and that disputes are resolved in a competent and timely manner.

This unit provides support to county child support enforcement units, credit reporting agencies, the lending community, lottery commission, Department of Labor, Division of Workers’ Compensation, Workers’ Compensation Insurance Carriers, Division of Motor Vehicles, Department of Regulatory Agencies, Department of Revenue, Treasurers’ Office, Colorado casinos and other external customers that interface with the State Enforcement Unit (SEU).
