IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTODIAL PARENTS ABOUT $25 FEE

Dear Child Support Customer:

A new federal law* required that the Commonwealth of Virginia amend §63.2-1904 of the Code of Virginia. Effective October 1, 2007, this law requires the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) to impose an annual fee of $25 for each case in which DCSE has collected and disbursed at least $500 in child support. This fee will be collected every federal fiscal year which runs from October 1 through September 30. DCSE will deduct the fee each year from collections after you have received $500 in child support, either in current support or arrears. If you have multiple child support cases, the $25 fee will be collected on each case.

If you have questions concerning this notice, please contact the DCSE Customer Call Center at 1-800-468-8894.

Sincerely,

Virginia Division of Child Support Enforcement
