Understand the TOP, Child Support, and Your Tax Refund

If you owe child support but are behind on your payments, federal and state agencies have several ways of collecting the past-due support (often called “arrears” or “arrearages”). One tool the Wyoming Department of Family Services uses to collect this past-due support is the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). This program can take all or part of your federal income tax refund to cover the child support you owe.

Here is how it works…

TOP Treasury Offset Program - Is your tax refund eligible to have past due child support deducted from your tax refund? If you owe at least $500 in past due support, you might be eligible.

If you have further questions or concerns, please contact your LOCAL WYOMING CHILD SUPPORT OFFICE or use our CONTACT US form, and we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
