Regarding the positive trend greater than 5% in the total collections from the Office of Recovery Services Administration performance measures, the agency states, "Collections have generally trended upward from year to year throughout ORS's history, but some of the increase during the past few years has been due to the recovering economy."
Regarding the positive trend greater than 5% in the ORS ratio - collections to cost from the Office of Recovery Services Administration performance measures, the agency states, "ORS has not seen any substantial budget increases within the past few years, which holds the denominator of this ratio fairly steady, while the collections for the numerator have continued to show increases."
