The Michigan Office of Child Support (OCS) processes child support payments through the Michigan State Disbursement Unit (MiSDU), which is part of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
(MDHHS). The MiSDU receipts and distributes payments by direct deposit to a bank account, to a debit card, or by paper check.
If I am sent money in error or overpaid, the MiSDU will take all the necessary steps to correct errors in the processing of my child support payments. By checking the “yes” box below, I give OCS permission to
withhold an incremental amount specified below from future child support payments owed to me. To revoke my consent, I must notify the Friend of the Court office. Failure to check “yes” has no effect on my
eligibility for IV-D Child Support services through OCS.
Yes, (circle one) 10% 25% or 50% Failure to choose a percentage will result in a default amount of 25%.
No, please contact me before you attempt to recover an amount from my support payments.
