Support Enforcement.
CSE can sign and negotiate payments related to child support.
Payments must be made in the form of a cashier’s check or money order.
CSE distributes child support as required by federal and tribal law. Current support is
applied to the month in which it is received by CSE.
Some parents pay child support for children in more than one household. Payments
are divided so that each household receives a share.
If the custodial parent received Tribal TANF, TANF, or AFDC, the noncustodial
parent’s federal tax refund may be taken to repay that debt. Once state debt is repaid,
those collections are sent to the family for past due support.
If a custodial parent is overpaid child support, the custodial parent will be required to
pay it back.
CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS: If our office is able to enforce a child support
order, your child support will be issued in the form of a debit card or direct

STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
**Signature and Notarization Required**
By signing this application, I authorize CSE to:
Take child support establishment and enforcement action CSE finds appropriate
Endorse and negotiate payments related to child support, including cashiers checks,
money orders, and electronic payments on my behalf and on behalf of the child(ren) in
my case, if I am the custodial parent.
1. I understand the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Office of Child Support Enforcement (CSE) is
here to act in the public interest of the child and to make sure that the parents financially
support their children. I understand that the responsibilities of the child support program do
not allow the staff of CSE to have the same confidential relationship with me as I would have
with a private attorney. Information I provide will be kept from the general public but may be
used as needed to collect support from either parent. I give CSE permission to give any
necessary information to law enforcement officers, public officials, court or others to assist
me to collect child support or medical support.
2. I understand that CSE ensures that all personal information provided to CSE such as
addresses, telephone numbers, employer names, etc. shall remain confidential. No personal
information will be shared between the custodial parent and non-custodial parent. However,
CSE may share information with other authorized state and tribal agencies.
3. I understand that CSE uses the address of record I provide as my public mailing address.
Legal and other official documents will be sent to me by regular mail at this address.
4. I should provide an address of record different from my home address if I believe I or my
child(ren) could be at serious risk of emotional or physical harm.
5. I understand that the post office does not forward child support payments to a new address
I have provided them. I must inform CSE of my new address in order to receive my child
support payments, and court and other legal documents.
6. I understand that CSE attorneys or the child support staff does not personally
represent me nor give any party legal advice. I have the option to hire an attorney at
my own expense. At the time of obtaining a private attorney, CSE will no longer correspond
with me directly; ONLY my attorney will contact the CSE attorney directly.
7. I agree to complete forms and affidavits as requested, to submit genetic testing, and attend
court to give testimony. I agree to cooperate fully with CSE, law enforcement officers, and
the court. I will notify CSE of my new address in writing every time I move.
8. I agree to give all identifying information requested to assist in locating and collecting child
support from the non-custodial parent (NCP) and/or prove who the biological father of my
child(ren) is. This includes any information that I know about or any documentation that I
have.
Revised 05/2019

9. I understand that CSE cannot help with issues such as custody and property
settlements. I agree to tell CSE if I hire a private attorney to collect or modify child
support or spousal support for me.
10. I agree CSE will decide the best way to collect child support.
11. I understand that CSE has an agreement with the State of Oklahoma to submit my case
for tax offset and other enforcement activities as needed to provide the full support for my
children. I further understand that the State of Oklahoma will open my case for limited
services only.
12. I understand that money collected from federal and state tax intercepts will first be applied
to monies owed to the tribe or state for funds expended on behalf of my children and myself.
I understand that tax intercepts may take refunds due to both the NCP and the current
spouse on joint returns. I understand that CSE or a state agency will hold the intercept for up
to six months. I further understand that I may receive tax collections that are actually owed to
the NCP’s current spouse and I agree that if the NCP’s current spouse files an Injured
Spouse claim for his/her portion of the tax refund collection, I will return that portion to the
Office of CSE.
13. I agree that starting with the date of my application, I give CSE the authority to endorse
child support checks made out to me. I understand that if I do not notify CSE of direct
payments or turn in child support paid directly to me, my case may be closed.
14. I understand that if I keep child support payments to which I am not entitled because the
NCP paid me directly for support assigned to the tribe or state or because payments were
sent to me in error, CSE will recover the overpayments from me. I understand CSE shall be
entitled to recover the overpayment by withholding amounts from my child support payments
and/or through interception of my federal and/or state tax refund.
15. I understand that it is law that CSE will collect money owed to the tribe or state for any
TANF/AFDC my children received in the past or are currently receiving. Any amount of
money collected that is more than what is due every month for current support will be paid to
the tribe or state for any TANF/AFDC paid to my children or me in the past.
16. I understand and agree to all the terms above. I understand that if I violate any of the
agreements or fail to cooperate with the Office of CSE, my case will be closed. The
information provided in this application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
17. I request any tribal, state, or federal IV-D agency to close their case as allowable under
Tribal, State, or Federal Law.
Revised 05/2019

I understand CSE cannot guarantee the following:
1) Identification and location of the biological father
2) Issuance of a child support order from the court
3) Enforcement of a child support order
4) Collection of child support money from the non-custodial parent
I have read and understand the Office of Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Services and
Responsibilities at the beginning of this application. Further, I state under penalty of perjury
that the foregoing is true and correct and that all of the information I have given, particularly
information that relates to all individuals who might be the father of the child(ren), is true and
correct. I acknowledge the truth of all information provided in all sections in this information
packet. I understand this acknowledgment applies to the information packet as a whole and
