Young people with questions about the economic impact payments can visit Youth Engaged 4 Change to find out what the payment is, who gets it, and how to get it.
The child support program does more than collect support for families. We locate parents, establish paternity, and work with families to set child support orders.
Whether you’re a mom, dad, or grandparent, we’ll help make child support a reliable source of income for your children.
