Fact Sheet
The Ohio child support program provides services that focus on ensuring
children receive the financial and medical support they are legally
entitled to, and deserve. More than one million children in Ohio are
involved in the program. By
working with both parents, the program seeks to establish support orders
and maintain reliable and consistent support payments. Research has
shown that when support payments are ongoing, non-custodial parents are
more involved in the lives of their children. Having both parents
involved in a child’s life results in a healthier and more responsible
child. ODJFS establishes
policies and guidelines for the program based on the rules and
requirements of federal and state laws and provides leadership and
guidance to county child support enforcement agencies. A variety of
services are offered including paternity establishment, enforcement of
financial and medical obligations, collections and
disbursements of support payments. Ohio’s child support program
consistently ranks as one of the best in the nation.
This achievement reflects a joint, dedicated effort involving federal,
state and county agencies.
At the local level, services are provided by county child support
enforcement agencies. In some counties, child support is a division
within the county department of job and family services, but it can also
be associated with a county prosecutor’s office, a court of common
pleas, or a county commissioners office. Services offered by local child
support enforcement agencies include location of non-custodial parents,
paternity establishment, establishment and enforcement of child support
and medical support orders, and review and modification of support
orders.
The child support program is available to any family that needs
services. If an unmarried individual with a child receives public
assistance, he or she is automatically referred to the county child
support office to establish a support case. If a participant is not on
public assistance and chooses not to complete an application for the
program, some services such as the offset of federal tax refunds and the
withholding of Unemployment Compensation benefits
will not be available.
