​​​It is required by law that all employers send the name and social security number of every newly hired employee to the Virginia Department of Social Child Support Enforcement Services - Child Support Enforcement. When Child Support Enforcement receives that information, they check to see who has outstanding child support payments. If you do, your paycheck will automatically have a withholding.

A withholding is not the only method of collecting. To pay off your past due payments, Child Support Enforcement has the power to:

  • ​Suspend your Virginia driver’s license
  • Intercept income tax refund
  • Attach liens to our personal property
  • Report the debt to credit reporting agencies
