Electronic Termination (eTerm) allows employers to report employee terminations online. Registered employers provide information about employee terminations (or that an individual has never worked for them) either by uploading a file or entering information in the online eTerm application.
How Employers Can Participate
- Register on the OCSS Child Support Portal for Employers as a new user.
- After registering successfully, contact the Employer Services Team at employerportal@acf.hhs.gov for a brief demonstration of the application.
Employer:
- Provides notification that the person is no longer or was never employed by the employer
- Receives an acknowledgment indicating whether the file was successfully uploaded to the Child Support Portal
- Views report files, which are available for download for 60 days.
eTerm Application:
- Generates notification of the termination to the state either through an e-IWO file (if the state participates with e-IWO) or
- Sends an email notification of the termination to the appropriate state child support agency.
