When this happens, the participant must turn over the support to OCSP. To turn over a direct payment of cash child support to OCSP, the participant has the following options: • Turn over the cash child support in person at the Salem OCSP office located at 4600 25th Avenue NE, Suite 180, Salem, OR 97301. • Take the cash child support to a payment kiosk at one of the locations listed below. (There is a small fee deducted for paying at the kiosk. This means the absent parent will get credit for the child support payment minus the fee). The kiosk locations are found at oregonchildsupport.gov/payments. • Purchase a money order and send to the attention of: Oregon Department of Justice, PO Box 14506, Salem, OR 97309. The payment needs to have the child support case number and absent parent’s or participant’s name written on the money order. When child support is paid directly to a participant receiving TANF and the participant turns the child support over to OCSP, the participant will be sent any child support pass-through the participant is eligible to receive.
