Monthly Handling Fee to Increase in April
Effective April 1, 2020, the monthly handling fee (formerly clearinghouse) will increase from $5.00 to $8.00. The goal of DCSS is to collect and distribute child support payments to help support Arizona families. The increase in the monthly handling fee will aid the Division by providing more efficient, accurate and secure information, case management and customer service.
This change is implemented under the A.R.S. § 25-510(D) and R6-7-103 in the Arizona Administrative Code to allow the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) to better serve our clients.
If you have any questions, please contact the DCSS Customer Service at (602) 252-4045 or toll-free in Arizona at 1 (800) 882-4151.
