What information does CSE need?
When a custodial parent applies for child support services, the caseworker will need key pieces of information to open or assist in a child support case. The most important pieces of information needed about the non-custodial parent are:
- Social Security Number
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Current or last known address and phone number
- Current or last known employer and address
Additional information that will be helpful includes:
- Marriage license
- Acknowledgment of paternity (or order of filiation by a court)
- Divorce decree or separation agreement
- Copies of any existing child support orders
- Income information (tax records, paycheck stubs, etc.)
- Child-related expenses and needs
- Child(ren)'s information such as birth certificate, Social Security Number, health insurance coverage
