How does the CSEA usually collect child support?
The CSEA or court normally sends a wage withholding order to the parent’s employer for the amount of the support order, plus the two percent processing charge. The employer then deducts these amounts from the parent’s paycheck. The CSEA or court may also issue wage withholding orders to a variety of other sources (Workers’ Compensation, Social Security, pensions and annuities). The CSEA or court can also direct the parent to set up an account at a financial institution. A party can also pay the CSEA directly if their payment method is by credit card or cash or they can send a check or money order to CSPC.
