Knowledge Works! Resources for Child Support-Led Employment Services

If you are a child support agency interested in implementing or enhancing a noncustodial parent employment program, OCSE can help.

We believe the option to implement noncustodial parent employment services is a good strategy to increase participation in the workforce, improve compliance with court-ordered child support payments, and provide low-income Americans with a path out of poverty to financial self-sufficiency.

The Knowledge Works! initiative highlights successful programs in other jurisdictions.  We also provide documents and access to OCSE subject matter experts to support your program in these areas:

  • Assessment
  • Planning
  • Implementation
  • Funding
  • Development
