Child Support Services has started a new Debt Reduction Program that can help parents who may owe child support arrears to the state (unpaid child support). You may be familiar with the old Compromise of Arrears Program (COAP), which helped parents reduce child support debt owed to the state. The new program expands eligibility.
Only customers with arrears owed to the state qualify for this program. If you would like to learn more about eligibility and the Debt Reduction Program, please visit the CA Child Support Services website.
