DCS Employer Contact

To assist employers asked to withhold earnings for child support orders, Washington State's Division of Child Support (DCS) has established an Employer Ombudsman within the agency's Community Relations Unit.

Employers who have questions regarding withholding for a child support order may reach the Ombudsman either through:

  • Send e-mail to dcs-cru@dshs.wa.gov; or
  • Call the Employer Hotline toll-free at 1-800-591-2760.

You can also contact a Support Enforcement Officer at the DCS field office which handles a specific case. If you have received paperwork from DCS, the contact information is listed on each document.
