Child Support Enforcement

NOW AVAILABLE

Child Support Customer Service Web Portal

On January 20, 2012 the Ohio Office of Child Support announced that the new Child Support Customer Service Web Portal became available to the public. Customers can log in to the Child Support Customer Service portal from the Office of Child Support internet Home Page using the following link: http://jfs.ohio.gov/Ocs/index.stm .

This release is the first phase of the interactive web portal that will provide child support customers with on-demand, case specific, address, employment, health insurance, and financial history information, along with answers to frequently asked questions regarding the child support program.

The portal will be operational and available twenty-three (23) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, throughout the year (with one hour of down time nightly for maintenance.)

To register you will need your 10 digit SETS case number (begins with a 7), your SSN and the last 4 digits of your direct deposit account. If you receive support on an Ohio e-QuickPay® Debit Master Card® use the last 4 digits listed on your Ohio e-QuickPay card.

Address Change Information

Even though you may receive your support payments via direct deposit or the Ohio e-Quick Pay debit card, you still need to keep your address updated with the agency to ensure continued receipt of important legal documents and/or case status information.

You can report changes in your ADDRESS by contacting us at (513)732-7248 or sending us an email by clicking on ClermontSupportsKids@odjfs.state.oh.us. If you know your investigator's name, you can e-mail him/her directly. See the "Contact Us/Directions" tab for a staff directory.

Hot Spots

Settlements and Support

Many times, it is the unexpected call that leads to a large child support collection.

An obligor can find himself or herself in a fender bender or a work related accident. This information can prove useful to the Child Support Enforcement Agency when a person who pays child support falls behind in making payments. Click here for related story* The legal staff of the CSEA needs to be informed of these incidents so that efforts can be made to either intervene in legal actions or contact can be made with the appropriate individuals in order to seek an assignment of benefits/proceeds. Please notify your caseworker if you learn that a person who pays child support is in a situation where a lump sum proceed may become available to him through a work related injury or other situation in which a law suit may be or has been filed. Information that a person may be an heir to an estate can also be relevant and lead to possible child support collections. A listing of caseworkers can be found on our website under the heading, "Contact Us," or you can call our general line at 513-732-7248, and ask to speak to your caseworker to share any information.
