New Annual $25 Federal Fee

Beginning September 2008, federal law requires that certain child support cases will pay a $25 yearly fee. Michigan law requires that this fee be withheld from payments made to the custodial party after he or she has received at least $500 in child support on a case between October 1 and September 30 (the federal fiscal year).

Custodial parties who currently receive or have received cash assistance (Family Independence Program, FIP) in Michigan or another state for the child(ren) in the support order do not have to pay the fee. Custodial parties who currently receive food assistance program (FAP) benefits for a child in the support order are also exempt from paying the fee.

If you would like more information about the $25 fee please see the additional information on this website or call the general fee information line at 1-866-713-0031. This toll free number will be available until 09/01/2008.
