CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia's child support enforcement agency plans to use a $5 million federal stimulus grant to make its operation more efficient by ditching the paperwork.

The Bureau for Child Support Enforcement began scanning documents in its Fairmont office on March 10. The offices in Logan, Morgantown and Flatwoods are scheduled to follow starting March 24.

The project is supposed to be finished by the end of July.

The idea is to save the state money by cutting down on paper, filing cabinets and the office space needed to store it all. The Department of Health and Human Resources says going paperless will also boost the agency's response time and improve accuracy.
