Receiving Payments

You will only receive child support when the other parent pays, either on his or her own, or through wage deduction. If paying through wage deduction it may take up to 30 days after the issuance of the wage withholding order for the employer to being remittance. Thereafter, the employer is required to remit within 7 days of the payroll deduction. If you are receiving public assistance, your child support payments will go to the state.
