Eligibility criteria
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a parent or primary caregiver who needs assistance paying for child care or who needs help collecting child support.
Description
The Child Support Enforcement (CSE) program provides services to locate absent parents, establish paternity and enforce support obligations. People who receive assistance under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Foster Care and Medicaid programs receive CSE services automatically. People who are not in assistance programs can apply for child support services and any support collected goes directly to them.
