Methods
of Making Support Payments
As of October 1, 2000, all support payments must be made through
Ohio's Child Support Payment Central (OCSPC). As in the past, your
support payments must continue to include the two percent processing
charge required by state law.
Obligors now have the following payment options:
- cash only payments at the agency
- mail payments to OCSPC
- on-line payments
- credit card payments
Cash payments at the agency:
The Franklin County CSEA operates a cashier's window at 80 East Fulton Street. Only cash payments can be accepted (no cashier's checks, certified checks, money orders, etc). The cashier's window is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
Mail payments to OCSPC:
Obligors may also mail payments to the Ohio Child Support Payment Central at the following address:
OCSPC
P.O. Box 182372
Columbus, OH 43218
Only checks and money orders can be accepted, made payable to: CSPC.
Please print your SETS case number, and your court case number or your SSN, on your payment so that your account can be properly credited and payment processing can be expedited.
Online Payments:
Obligors now have the option of making payments online
using ExpertPay.com. Obligors who wish to use this
payment method should access the ExpertPay website
at www.ExpertPay.com and
register as a user. To remit a payment, the obligor
will enter a payment amount and effective date for
the withdrawal. On the effective date, the payment
will be debited from the obligor's bank account, and then five (5)
business days later the payment is sent to Ohio CSPC. A nominal
fee is charged for payments remitted to other states. The ExpertPay
website has additional details about fees.
Online Credit Card Payments:
Obligors now have the option of making payments by credit card at www.e-ChildsPay.com. This option is currently available only for MasterCard cardholders. Obligors using this payment method are subject to a fee of $11.75 per each transaction, in addition to the 2% processing charge. Additional information regarding this program can be found at www.e-ChildsPay.com.
