ACS Awarded Contract for Market-Expanding Application of Electronic Payment Card

DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) will use Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc`s (NYSE: ACS) electronic payment card (EPC) solution to improve
the distribution of state payments to child care providers and specialized
personal assistants. The five-year agreement with the State of Illinois expands
the market of ACS` EPC program and demonstrates how electronic payments can
benefit government agencies and their constituents.

With ACS` EPC program, IDHS will be able to accelerate payments to recipients by
using a reloadable MasterCard debit card accepted by thousands of retailers and
at ATMs nationwide. The card will be offered as an option to traditional paper
checks for payments to service providers participating in the state`s Child Care
Assistance Program, which offers quality, affordable child care to families.
Additionally, it will be available to personal assistants who help with
household tasks and personal care to people with disabilities.

"Our goal with the debit cards is to expedite the delivery of monthly payments
to licensed and licensed-exempt child care providers and bi-monthly payments to
personal assistants," said Grace Hou, IDHS assistant secretary. "This process
will heighten security associated with transactions, and provide easier and less
costly access to funds for those who may not have checking accounts."

ACS serves four million cardholders with 24 EPC programs for state and federal
clients, disbursing payments for programs such as child support, Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), unemployment insurance, disability and
state employee payroll. The addition of child care providers and personal
assistants will significantly expand the use of EPC services. ACS` EPC solution
is also available to healthcare providers as a more convenient method of payment
delivery.

ACS` agreement with the State of Illinois demonstrates the flexibility of our
electronic payment card solution and how we can help government agencies with
innovative and creative solutions," said Joseph Doherty, executive vice
president and group president of ACS Government Solutions Group. "We anticipate
that this project will become a model for other states."

As the largest provider of business process solutions and one of the largest
information technology service providers to the nation`s public sector, ACS
