Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to complete this application?
Any custodial parent, legal guardian, or caretaker relative seeking financial support for a child must complete this application. This applies whether the child lives with you full time or most of the time. You do not need to be receiving public benefits to apply.
What is the $20 application fee for?
The $20 non-refundable fee covers the administrative costs of processing your child support case. Families receiving TANF benefits are automatically exempt from paying this fee. In some cases, the fee may also be waived under other qualifying circumstances.
What documents do I need to apply for child support?
You will need to provide personal identification, birth certificates for each child, proof of income, Social Security numbers for all parties involved, and copies of any existing court orders related to custody or prior support agreements.
What happens after I submit the application?
After submission, Child Support Services will review your application and open a case. A caseworker will contact you with next steps. CSS will then work to locate the noncustodial parent, establish paternity if needed, and set up a formal child support order.
Can I request that my information be kept private?
Yes. If you have concerns about family violence or personal safety, you may request that CSS not disclose your address or contact information to the other party. This protection is built into the application process to help keep custodial parents and children safe.
