Child Support Internet Payment Service

Employers - Reduce your payroll processing costs with EFT!

By using Electronic Funds Transfer/Electronic Data Interchange (EFT/EDI), you can reduce your paperwork, handling costs, and bank charges when sending child support withholding payments to the Division of Child Support (DCS). EFT/EDI can also reduce the amount of time your staff spends responding to inquiries from DCS about payments. DCS offers a variety of EFT/EDI options:

• Internet Payments http://www.dcsonline.dshs.wa.gov/
• Repetitive Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit
• Pay by phone ACH debit
• PC Modem ACH debit
• ACH Credit with addenda*

• (NOTE: DCS will accept records in CCD+ or CTX format. Your bank can inform you if these options are available for your business.) Please view the User Guide for Electronic Child Support Payments.

For more information, please review the informational letter about EFT options * or call 1-800-468-7422.
