The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) primary goal is to ensure that children are financially supported by both parents. OCSS accomplishes this by locating non-custodial parent (NCP), establishing paternity and child support orders, and collecting and disbursing child support funds to those children. OCSS also services NCPs who are unable to provide financial support due to unemployment and/or being underemployed, by partnering with community-based organizations which offer educational, training, and job placement services for eligible parents. Enforcing and establishing child support orders, combined with employment and other support, assists impoverished families gain financial independence and become self-sufficient.
The OCSS Borough Offices are the point of entry into the child support system for custodial parents who are cash assistance applicants and recipients. Custodial parents are automatically referred for child support services as a requirement for full benefits for their household. When the non-custodial parent whereabouts are or become known, cases are referred to the family court to initiate the legal child support proceedings, for pursuing orders of support and/or the establishment of paternity. Custodial parents and their families rely on the agency to provide guidance in collecting monies due to them and to use all means at the disposal of the agency to collect such monies.
