Summary Statement

We at Revenue Plus have been keenly aware of the amount of overpayments that each state has been trying to collect using their existing antiquated computer systems.  Many states have asked us to demonstrate to them how the Revenue Plus software will them prioritize their collection efforts and to help them manage, track and report on their Overpayment of Benefits.  We have conducted demonstrations for the Departments of Labor in WA,TN, LA, AL, AZ, GA, CA, and MD.  Our software has helped other government agencies increase their revenue up to 50% and the Overpayments Benefits group could take advantage of this technology.
