If questions or problems remain unresolved by the case worker, it is best that you escalate your concern through the county (e.g. through the supervisor, director, etc.) rather than direct your question immediately to the state office. Case work is done at the county level. The counties have the physical files, and they are in the best position to help you. General information about child support can be found on the DHS Web site. |
