Video Transcript: Child Support Quick Tip | Debt Reduction Program

[00:00:00] I will never pay off what I owe the
[00:00:01] state. If you’re struggling with or
[00:00:03] can’t afford to pay the past due child
[00:00:05] support you owe to the state, you may be
[00:00:08] eligible for an agreement with your
[00:00:10] child support agency and pay a fraction
[00:00:12] of what you owe through the debt
[00:00:14] reduction program. This program allows
[00:00:16] qualified payers to pay off a reduced
[00:00:18] total amount by a lump sum or monthly
[00:00:21] payments. Depending on your income,
[00:00:23] monthly expenses, and ability to pay,
[00:00:26] you may only be asked to pay 10% of what
[00:00:28] you owe. For a detailed description of
[00:00:30] the application and the process, contact
[00:00:33] the agency handling your case.
