What is the child support mobile app?

For custodial parents

The app simplifies the child support enrollment process by asking you questions that more quickly help you complete the appropriate form.

Once submitted, the forms and any required documentation is reviewed by an Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) staff member, who will contact you to confirm your submission and talk to you about the next steps.

You can also use the app to provide OCSS your updated contact information.

Key features for custodial parents:

Child Support Enrollment:

The child support app enrollment form is automatically filled in when you answer the online questions. If you submit your form online, you do not need to fill out and submit a hard copy.

If you are receiving or applying for Cash Assistance or Medicaid, you can submit your online child support enrollment form and then upload supporting documents, saving you time and money.

You can view and download your enrollment form after submitting it

Learn more about how to enroll in child support.

Maintain Contact Information

Instead of calling, writing or walking-in you can submit updates of your address, email, phone number, and employer using the child support app.

Upcoming Appointments

For noncustodial parents

You can now make child support payments to the government or the custodial parent directly through the app, without a fee, by using a credit card, debit card, PayPal, or Venmo. Allow 2-3 business days for payment processing.

The app also provides you access to child support enforcement challenge forms and debt reduction application forms, which can be completed and submitted via the app. Once OCSS receives the submission, you will be contacted to discuss whether you qualify and next steps.
