If your ex-spouse is a federal payment recipient, the TOP allows the state to offset certain types of federal payments in order to collect the delinquent child support owed. Contact your state or local child-support enforcement office to determine whether federal payments to your ex-spouse can be offset through TOP. For additional information contact the Department of Health and Human Services Office Child-Support Enforcement at (202) 401-9373.
