NEW YORK STATE CHILD SUPPORT PROGRAM
LAUNCHES REDESIGNED WEBSITE FEATURING ONLINE ENROLLMENT
The New York
State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance today announced the
launch of a new online enrollment form for child support services as part
of the Child Support Program’s recently redesigned website, childsupport.ny.gov. The new site
has a more intuitive and easier to navigate design, allowing individuals to
enroll for child support services online and providing existing users
access to more information about their case.
“Child support is
a vital source of income for hundreds of thousands of children and families
in New York and is often a key component in keeping families with children
from experiencing poverty,” said Office of Temporary and Disability
Assistance Commissioner Barbara C. Guinn. “The new online enrollment form
and redesigned website make it easier than ever for parents to access these
vital services while expanding the range of information available to them
about their individual cases.”
New Yorkers can
now enroll online for child support services using their phone, tablet, or
computer. Additionally, the website enables those paying or receiving child
support to easily review the dates and amounts of payments, access account
statements, and message their local child support office.
New York State’s
Child Support Program provides parents with assistance in obtaining
financial support and medical insurance coverage for their children by
locating parents, establishing paternity, establishing and modifying
support orders, and collecting and distributing child support payments. The
program serves nearly 536,000 children, collecting more than $1.67 billion
annually on their behalf.
The Child Support
Program is overseen by the Division of Child Support Services within the
Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and administered by local
departments of social services in New York State’s 57 counties, as well as
New York City.
