National Employer Resources

This section is for employers and payroll staff who process and send child support through paychecks.  

Federal Employer Guidance

  • The resources on this page are provided by the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE).
  • They offer guidance for employers who process child support and medical support through payroll, including income withholding and reporting requirements that apply across states.
  • DCSE shares these links for reference and does not administer federal employer programs.

Employers are vital partners in the child support program. A large share of child and medical support is collected through payroll deductions.

Visit the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) employer page for national guidance and related employer resources.
