Yes, if you owe arrears. Ohio law requires employers to notify the CSEA when an employee (including an independent contractor) is going to get a bonus or lump sum payment of $150 or more. If the obligor owes arrears, the CSEA must take action so that the money is sent to Child Support Payment Central and applied to the support obligation.
