***Child Support Employer Services Portal***

The Child Support, Employer Services Portal (ESP) allows Employers the ability to view and provide information to DWSS; such as, view and respond to Income Withholding Orders, employment verification requests, update employee/company information and much more.

    ***Notice to Employers/Income Payers - Lump Sum Reporting***

    Effective October 1, 2021, employers/income payers who have been ordered to withhold child support payments are required to notify the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services, at least 10 days prior to issuance of a lump sum payment of $150.00 or more to an employee/obligor if arrears are owed. For more information on this new requirement, please see: Lump Sum Reporting FAQ  

    Federal Child Support Portal: The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) provides a secure online lump sum reporting application on the Child Support Portal. OCSE compares the employees who are receiving lump sum payments to individuals who owe child support and sends matches to the child support agencies. For more information on the portal or to sign up for lump sum reporting, please visit: Report Lump Sum Payments Online.

      Nevada Senate Bill 33 becomes effective on January 1, 2020.

        Reporting Requirements

        Effective January 1, 2020, each insurer must report claimant information to the Nevada Child Support Enforcement Program within 5 days after opening a tort liability claim for bodily injury or wrongful death, a worker’s compensation claim or a claim for life insurance benefits.

          Reporting Options

          Insurers must contact either the Child Support Lien Network (CSLN) or the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to make data reporting arrangements.

Casualty insurers that report claimant information to the Insurance Services Office (ISO) can simply authorize ISO to relay claimant information to CSLN and/or OCSE.
