Put Children First

During recent years, new state and federal initiatives have provided many additional avenues for collection of overdue child support. These initiatives have aided in the collection of long overdue child support for many families. Non-payment of child support is a primary reason almost half a million children in Illinois receive public assistance.

The Illinois Department of Public Aid (DPA) is fully committed to the use of all available enforcement tools to collect unpaid child support. The DPA’s Child Support Enforcement Program serves Illinois residents regardless of income.

Services include:

parent locating services
genetic testing to establish paternity
child support order establishment and order modification reviews
medical support
wage withholding
computerized accounting and billing
interception of federal and state income tax refunds

A small application fee may be charged to some families with the means to pay.

The Illinois Child Support Enforcement program represents a unified effort among all the Illinois child support enforcement partners: the Illinois Department of Public Aid, The Circuit Courts, Illinois Attorney General, State’s Attorneys, Circuit Court Clerks, Sheriffs, the Comptroller and the Illinois Supreme Court.

For more information, answers to your child support questions, or for an application for child support enforcement services, call: 1-800-447-4278.

If you are using a teletypewriter (TTY), call toll free at: 1-800-526-5812.
