💰 Was your tax refund intercepted for child support? Here’s what you need to know:

⏳ Timing matters
It can take 6 weeks or more for intercepted tax refunds to be sent to CSSD.

🔒 Payment details are limited
CSSD cannot share the source of a payment, so we’re unable to confirm to the receiving parent if a tax refund has been received.

🗓️ Possible hold period
Some tax refunds may be held for up to 6 months before they can be released.

"📌 Making It Official: Paternity in Montana

If parents aren’t married, paternity must be established before child support can begin.

The Montana Child Support Services Division can help by:

✔️ Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity
✔️ Arranging DNA testing
✔️ Issuing Court Orders for Paternity

This ensures children receive financial support and benefits.
