    Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for the Employer

    Employers can send support-related withholding payments to the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) via Electronic Funds Transfer/Electronic Data Interchange (EFT/EDI) through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.

    EFT/EDI offers your business with long-term financial savings by:

      • Increasing accuracy and efficiency;
      • Increasing reliability – no lost checks or mail delays;
      • Reducing paperwork;
      • Eliminating postage costs; and
      • Eliminating theft or fraud.

    If your business is interested in remitting payments via EFT/EDI, please:

    1. Review the User Guide for Electronic Child Support Payments. CSEA accepts payments in CCD+ or CTX format.
    2. Contact your financial institution or third-party service provider to determine its capabilities and requirements.
    3. Complete an ACH credit request form, which can be obtained by contacting the CSEA’s EFT Coordinator at (808) 692-7013. Upon receipt of the completed form, the CSEA’s banking info will be provided. (This step need not be completed if your company is using a third-party service provider.)
    4. Provide the CSEA’s EFT Coordinator with a list of employees for which support-related withholding payments would be transmitted to the CSEA. This list should contain each employee’s name, social security number and case number. The CSEA will review the list and provide the employer with changes, if any.

    Another option available to employers is to remit payments through ExpertPay.

    If you have any questions regarding EFT/EDI payments, please contact the CSEA’s EFT Coordinator at (808) 692-7013.
