INDIANA CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS DELAYED

Last Updated November 2023

If you are a custodial parent in Indiana, you may have noticed a delay in your child support payments. This is due to the fact that Indiana is in the process of converting to a new child support computer system. The new system is designed to be more efficient and accurate, but it has caused some delays in payments as the state transitions to the new system.

The Indiana Child Support Bureau (DCS) has acknowledged the delays and is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. They have also encouraged people to sign up for direct deposit, which can help to avoid delays. Direct deposit is a convenient and secure way to receive your child support payments, and it will ensure that you receive your payments on time.

If you have any questions about the delays in child support payments, you can contact the DCS at (800) 840-8757. You can also visit the DCS website at https://www.in.gov/dcs/child-support/make-a-payment/ for more information.

Tips for Avoiding Delays in Child Support Payments:

Sign up for direct deposit.

Keep your contact information up to date with the DCS.

Report any changes in income or employment to the DCS.
