Title
IV-D Services
Title IV-D refers to a section of the Social Security
Act which authorizes federal assistance for child support
enforcement activity. Enforcement actions available to
those enrolled in the Title IV-D Program include the following:
- Location services provided by the Ohio Parent
Locator Service and the Federal Parent Locator
Service.
- On cases with support arrears, interception
of obligors' income tax refunds from the Federal
and State Tax Offset Programs.
- Withholding of Unemployment Compensation for
payment of support.
- Requests to the Internal Revenue Service for
disclosure of taxpayer information for use in
establishing and collecting support obligations.
The above referenced services are free, but are offered
by Franklin County only to those who have registered for
the Title IV-D Program.
If you are receiving public assistance, your case is automatically
a IV-D case. If you have never been on public assistance,
you may want to call us and ask. Why are we pointing this
out? Many of our non-public assistance cases came to us
as a result of Domestic Relations orders which established
a child support obligation. When this type of case was
initially entered on our system it went on as a non-Title
IV-D case, pending your request to make it so. If we never
received a signed/written request, your case is still being
carried as non IV-D and you are missing out on the enforcement
services which those registered under Title IV-D are entitled
to receive.
If you are not sure whether your case is being carried
by us as IV-D or non IV-D, give us a call today at 614-462-3275.
If your case is non IV-D and you would like us to reclassify
it as a Title IV-D case, click below to be taken to a page
where you can download forms JFS 07076 (Application for
Child Support Services) and JFS 07012 (Rights and Responsibilities).
Fill out and sign these forms and return them to us to
take advantage of the above referenced services.
