PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITY TO FILE DOCUMENTS WITH COURT AND

PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

We may forward documents to court for you: While it is your responsibility to file documents related
to your case directly with the court, it is the policy of the Department of Child Support Services (Child
Support) to forward appropriate legal forms and supporting documents received from participants such
as yourself to the Superior Court for filing. Documents you return to Child Support for the purpose of
modifying your order may also be forwarded to court. Documents intended for the court but received
by Child Support will be routed to the court as a convenience to you. Documents forwarded to the
court from Child Support may also be served on the other party in the court case.

We cannot change information on paperwork we send to court: Documents filed with the court
may become a matter of public record. Child Support will not remove or change any information on
forms that are submitted for filing with the court, so please be aware that private information such as
your address or social security number on documents sent to the court by Child Support can become
public records that anyone may see.

We are not your attorney: Since current law does not allow any child support agency to provide legal
representation for you, you or your attorney are responsible for properly completing all forms prior to
filing them with the court or submitting them to Child Support. Incomplete or improper forms may not
be accepted by the court, and routing of completed documents from Child Support to the court as a
courtesy to you does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Child Support.

Legal help is available: If you have any questions or concerns about private information on legal
forms and documents, we strongly encourage you to seek legal assistance or talk to your county's
Family Law Facilitator office for possible options.

If you have any questions, please visit Customer Connect at [Link]/CustomerConnect


for assistance on-line or call Customer Connect at 1-866-901-3212. Persons with hearing or
speech impairments, please call the TTY number at 1-866-399-4096.

NOTICE OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAM


DCSS 0064 (10/20/2019)

WHAT THE CHILD SUPPORT PROGRAM CAN DO FOR YOU:


All children have the right to be supported by both parents. Any person, including a noncustodial parent, whether or not
he or she receives public assistance, can apply for support services. Some of the services available are:
• locating the parent(s) for child support enforcement purposes;
• establishing paternity (legal fatherhood);
• establishing a child and/or medical support (health insurance) order;
• enforcing a child and/or medical support order;
• changing an existing court order for child and/or medical support;
• enforcing a spousal support order with a child support order;
• collecting and distributing support payments.

Custody and visitation services are not provided.

The local child support agency provides services on behalf of the county. The local child support agency does
not represent you and is not your attorney. Because you are not its client, the local child support agency may
provide enforcement services to you or the other parent in the future, and the information you provide is not
privileged or kept confidential under attorney-client privilege.

COOPERATION WITH CHILD SUPPORT


When you request services, you must cooperate with the local child support agency by providing any information or
documents needed to establish paternity and/or locate the other parent and to get support payments for your child.
Once you request services of the local child support agency, the local child support agency will determine the
appropriate actions to take. All support payments must be made to the State Disbursement Unit. If payments are made
directly to you, these payments must be turned over to the State Disbursement Unit.

When you apply for, or receive support services, you are responsible for promptly informing the child support agency of
any changes that could affect your child support case or the work of the local child support agency. Some examples are:
• child leaves your home;
• telephone number or address changes (including a move to another county, state, or country);
• stopping public assistance, such as California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs);
• name change;
• initiation of divorce or other legal proceedings involving your child;
• information regarding the other party;
• direct receipt of any child, spousal or family support payment.

Pursuant to Title 45, Code of Federal Regulations, section 303.3, for all cases referred to a local child support agency
or where an application for services has been received, the agency must attempt to locate all noncustodial parents or
sources of income and/or assets when necessary for the next appropriate action. When applicable and appropriate, to
your case(s), the local child support agency will seek to obtain verification of Social Security Administration information
through a data matching process.

YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to seek legal advice from a private attorney or legal services office at your own expense. If you hire
an attorney, you must tell the local child support agency. For free information and/or legal assistance, you may contact
the Superior Court’s Office of the Family Law Facilitator. Free or reduced cost legal services may also be available at
your local legal aid office.

If you have a support order in the State of California, you may ask the local child support agency to review your support
order to determine if the amount of support should be changed based on statewide guidelines. If the amount of support
does not meet guidelines for change, the local child support agency must give you or the other parent, upon request,
information on how to get the forms to request the court to change the amount of support ordered. The Family Law
Facilitator can also help free of charge. The local child support agency must tell you of the date, time, and purpose of
every hearing for paternity or support. You have the right to read the court file, unless that information is legally
prohibited by confidentiality requirements.

[USER_ID]
Upon your request, the local child support agency may give you copies of the most recent order entered in your case
file. You can go to court to enforce your support order, but you must give the local child support agency advance notice
that you intend to file your own enforcement action. If the local child support agency does not respond to your notice
within thirty (30) days or if the local child support agency tells you that you can proceed, you can then file your own
enforcement action with the Superior Court as long as all support is payable through the State Disbursement Unit.

The local child support agency must have the permission of a non-public assistance recipient before filing a stipulation
affecting the support order in which that person is named as a party. The local child support agency cannot, without a
public assistance recipient’s consent, enter into a stipulation that will decrease the amount of overdue support when the
recipient is owed overdue support that is more than the amount of public assistance paid to the recipient.

If you are not receiving public assistance, the payments the State receives are applied in the following order:

1. Current monthly support;


2. Past due support;
3. Interest; and
4. Future obligations.

Federal income tax refunds owed to the noncustodial parent can be intercepted by the child support agency, and are
applied differently than other payments. By federal law, this money cannot be applied to current support obligations. It
must be applied to the past due child support. If a custodial party has received public assistance, including Medi-Cal,
the past due child support owed to the government will be paid first.

All case types that are eligible for Federal income tax refund offset are eligible for administrative offset. The following
types of payments are available for administrative offset. They include both recurring and nonrecurring payments.
Recurring payments are payments that are issued on a regular, routine, or repeated basis. A nonrecurring payment is
issued once and not expected to be repeated, such as a lump-sum retirement payment.

The Federal payments currently included in administrative offset are: Federal retirement payments, vendor, and
miscellaneous payments (i.e., expense reimbursement payments and travel payments).

Administrative Offset and Federal Tax Refund Offset are allowed by 31 United States Code section 3716, 42 United
States Code section 664, 26 United States Code section 6402, and 45 Code of Federal Regulations section 303.72.

State income tax refunds and lottery awards owed to the noncustodial parent can also be intercepted by the child
support agency and are applied according to the Child Support Program distribution regulations (Manual of Policy and
Procedures, sections 12-415 and 12-420). Franchise Tax Board intercept and lottery award collections are applied to all
current support and then to past due child support, including past due medical support.

Beginning October 1, 2020, pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, section 53117 of Public Law 115-123 which
amended the provisions of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the Department of Child Support Services may
assess a $35 Annual Service Fee for each case that has never received public assistance. This fee will be assessed
every year on October 1st for each case in which at least $550 has been disbursed to the family in the prior Federal
Fiscal Year (October 1st - September 30th). The fee will be automatically deducted from the next payment(s) issued to
the custodial party after October 1st until the fee has been recovered in full.

Additionally, some other states charge a fee for services. If your case involves one of those states, they may
deduct the fee from the support payments, or add it to the balance that is owed.

NOTICE OF COLLECTIONS AND DISTRIBUTION


Custodial Party will get a Notice of Collections and Distribution of support payments every month. The Notice will show
all support that was collected and paid out during the period shown on the Notice, and if that money was applied to
current support, or past due support. A Notice of Collections and Distribution will not be sent in any month that no
support was received or paid out.

DCSS 0064 (10/20/2019)
MEDICAL SUPPORT AND MEDI-CAL
Either or both parents can be required to provide health insurance if health insurance is available at a reasonable cost.
In general, the cost of health insurance is reasonable if it is employment-related group health insurance or other group
health insurance. However, in determining reasonable cost, the court will also consider the actual cost of the health
insurance to the parent(s).

The local child support agency will ask the court to establish or change a child support order to require the parent(s) to
provide health insurance if it is available at a reasonable cost. The custodial parent may also request that the local child
support agency change the child support order to include a provision for health insurance. This may affect the amount
of the monthly child support obligation. If the noncustodial parent is ordered to provide health insurance coverage, the
local child support agency will contact the noncustodial parent and his or her employer, if necessary, to secure health
insurance for the child. After the local child support agency receives the policy information, the information will be given
to the custodial parent.

Having private health insurance coverage does not prevent the Custodial Party from having Medi-Cal coverage. If the
Custodial Party receives Medi-Cal and has individual or group health private coverage (including dental or vision
coverage), the Custodial Party is required by federal and state law to tell the county welfare department (CWD), the
health care provider, and the child support agency. Failure to provide this information is a misdemeanor. The Custodial
Party must report to the CalWORKs eligibility worker and/or child support agency within ten (10) days when private
health coverage changes or stops. The Custodial Party must also tell the CalWORKs eligibility worker and/or child
support agency about any court order regarding health insurance.

If the Custodial Party is only receiving Medi-Cal, the Custodial Party must cooperate in establishing paternity and
obtaining medical support as a condition of continued eligibility for Medi-Cal benefits, unless the Custodial Party has filed
and the CWD has approved a claim of “good cause” (CW 51) Good Cause Claim for Noncooperation. Your child(ren) will
still be eligible for Medi-Cal. Also, all child support services will be given, unless the Custodial Party tells the local child
support agency that he or she does not want services that are unrelated to obtaining medical support and establishing
paternity. Obtaining medical support may reduce the amount of the child support received. In cases where both parents
are in the home, the local child support agency will establish paternity only.

Under Federal law [42 U.S.C. section 1396a(25)], health insurance belonging to a Medi-Cal recipient in a child or
medical support enforcement case is used as follows:

The service provider will bill Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal will pay the service provider. Then Medi-Cal will seek repayment from
the other health insurance coverage. You are not responsible for any insurance cost-sharing amount
(co-insurance, co-payment or deductible) unless a Medi-Cal co-payment or share of cost must be met. The provider
may bill you for the service if you do not cooperate in identifying your private health insurance. If your other health
insurance is a Prepaid Health Plan (PHP) or a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), you must use the plan facilities
for regular medical care. Except for out-of-area service or emergency care, Medi-Cal will not pay for services provided by
a provider not associated with your PHP/HMO. Out-of-area services or emergency care should be billed to the
PHP/HMO.

For more information on Child Support Services, please refer to your Child Support Handbook.

NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
It is the policy of the State of California to ensure that all individuals are treated equally and that no person shall, on the
basis of ethnic group identification, race, color, national origin, political affiliation or belief, religion, sex, age or disability
be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of any program or service, or otherwise be subjected to treatment
that is different than that provided to others.

Each local child support agency has a designated Civil Rights Coordinator. Any applicant/recipient who feels they have
been subjected to discriminatory treatment may file a complaint of discrimination by first contacting the local child
support agency’s designated Civil Rights Coordinator through the State Customer Service Support Center (CSSC) or by
writing to the California Department of Child Support Services, Attn: Human Services Section, Civil Rights Office,
P.O. Box 419064, Rancho Cordova, CA 95741-9064 or call (866) 901-3212.

REQUEST FOR SUPPORT SERVICES


DCSS 0055 (10/20/2019)

CSE Case Number:

INSTRUCTIONS: Read carefully before signing below. Your signature is required in order for us to
open a case for you.
Beginning October 1, 2020, pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, section 53117 of Public Law
115-123 which amended the provisions of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the Department of Child
Support Services may assess a $35 Annual Service Fee for each case that has never received public
assistance. This fee will be assessed every year on October 1st for each case in which at least $550 has
been disbursed to the family in the prior Federal Fiscal Year (October 1st - September 30th). The fee will be
automatically deducted from the next payment(s) issued to the custodial party after October 1st until the fee
has been recovered in full.

I want the local child support agency to help me get a child support order to establish paternity for the
child(ren) or enforce a support order I have.

I understand that I am applying for these services under the Child Support Services Program under Title IV-D
of the Social Security Act.
I will let the child support agency know right away:

When each child marries.


When each child reaches age 18 years and is no longer attending high school, or 19 years,
whichever happens first.
If my home address, mailing address, or telephone number changes.
If my employer, including name, address, and telephone number changes.
If my income changes.
If my status, cost, or availability of health insurance coverage changes.
If any information regarding the whereabouts of the other parent(s) changes.
If the parent(s) moves back in together with the children, or
If there is any change in custody, childcare or visitation.

I am aware that the local child support agency does not represent me, the other parent, or the children who
are the subject of this case. No attorney-client relationship exists between the local child support agency
and me, the other parent, or the children. No attorney-client relationship will arise if the local child support
agency provides the support services I have requested.

I declare under penalty of perjury that I have read, understand, and agree to all of the terms
specified above.

Dear Applicant:

The Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) is required by law to send child support case
information to the federal government. The federal government maintains a data base that includes all
child support cases in the country. Upon request, the federal government will release case information
to other child support agencies; however, if you or the child(ren) in this case are the victim of family
violence, you may not want the release of your case information.

If you think that releasing information about your case to the federal government may cause physical or
emotional harm to you or the child(ren) in this case, please fill out the Family Violence Questionnaire
(DCSS 0048) and return it to your local child support agency. You must fill out the form completely in
order to process your request.

Please mail the completed form to: Local Child Support Agency

For interstate cases personal identification must be disclosed unless a nondisclosure order has been
filed. If you have informed us that you have obtained a protective or restraining order or been granted
good cause exception from cooperation, the local child support agency shall seek an "order of
nondisclosure" prior to sending an interstate application to the other state. A nondisclosure order will
prevent the release of your personal information to the other parties involved in your interstate case.

If you feel the release of your address or other personal information would pose a risk to you
or your child(ren)'s health, safety or liberty and do not possess a protective or restraining order or have
good cause exception, you may seek your own order of nondisclosure. This can be obtained through
your own legal counsel or with the assistance of the family law facilitator.

If you or the child(ren) in this case are not a victim of family violence, you do not have to return this form.
Also, it is important to understand that DCSS is prohibited by law from releasing your personal
information in this case to the other party without a court order. However, some documents that include
some of your personal information may be filed with the court.

If you have any questions, please visit CustomerConnect on the web, [Link]/CustomerConnect
for assistance on-line, or call CustomerConnect at 1-866-901-3212. Persons with hearing or speech
impairments, please call the TTY number 1-866-399-4096.

DECLARATION OF SUPPORT PAYMENT HISTORY


DCSS 0569 (06/17/2018)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE DECLARATION

OF SUPPORT PAYMENT HISTORY

On the back of this page is the Declaration of the Support Payment History for your case. Please
provide the amount of support that was ordered by the court and the amount that was paid for each
month. These figures will help determine the amount of the past due support owed, if any.

Within the boxes on the bottom half of the page, please complete the:
• "Amount Ordered" column for each year
• Fill in the amount of support that was ordered by the court each month since your
order began. If there has been a change in your order, make sure each month reflects
the correct amount of support due.
• "Amount Paid" column for each year
• Fill in the dollar amount of support paid in that month. If more than one payment was
made in a given month, put the total dollar amount of support paid. Put the dollar
amount next to the month in which the payment was actually paid, and not the
month the payments were intended to cover. If needed, you may attach more
sheets.

Within the boxes on the bottom half on the page, only if it applies to your case, please complete
the:
• “Incarceration/Institutionalization History"
• Fill in the details of any time periods during which the other parent of your child was
involuntarily confined in a state prison, county jail, juvenile facility, mental health
facility, or other facility. If needed, you may attach additional sheets.

Please complete a separate page(s) for child support, spousal support, family support, medical
support, unreimbursed medical expenses, and other types of support not listed. DO NOT combine
child support and spousal support unless your court order combines the two support
payments into a "family" support order.

Be aware that this Declaration is not confidential and may be given to the other parent or party in
your case for review. If there is a disagreement regarding the payment history, the parties may be
required to present proof of payments, for example, cancelled checks, or receipts.

If you have questions and/or need assistance with child support forms, you can get free help from
your local court's Family Law Facilitator Office. Information for the Family Law Facilitator can be
found at the California Courts website at [Link]
