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:

  1. Location services provided by the Ohio Parent Locator Service and the Federal Parent Locator Service.
  2. On cases with support arrears, interception of obligors' income tax refunds from the Federal and State Tax Offset Programs.
  3. Withholding of Unemployment Compensation for payment of support.
  4. 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.
