If the parent paying child support applies for unemployment benefits, when can I expect to receive a payment?
Typically, the custodial parent receives a check within 4 to 6 weeks after the unemployment claim can be recorded on the Child Support automated system. Before unemployment benefits can be attached, Child Support must notice the NCP and allow 14 days to request an administrative review. After the 14 days has passed, the attachment is sent electronically to the Department of Labor. A collection is received the week following the attachment.
