I am currently receiving General Relief (GR) and/or SSI and can afford to pay child support. What should I do?
Contact the Child Support Services Department. Once the aid status is verified, CSSD can review the case to have the child support order reduced or reserved. The NCP may also initiate this modification for a reduced or reserved order by filing a motion at Central Civil West Superior Court. • I am currently receiving Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB) and/or Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB). Do I still have to pay child support?[ Top ] Yes. Any NCP receiving UIB or DIB from the Employment Development Department is subject to a 25% intercept of their monthly claim. The NCP may request a modification of the child support order due to this change in income. • Why did CSSD stop me from obtaining a passport?[ Top ] CSSD submitted your passport if the arrears balance exceeded $2500 at any time. You will have to pay off the arrears in full to have your passport released. Contact our office for any further instructions regarding the release of your passport.
