Illinois Child Support

New Case Management System Information

*Important Update: The issue in the new system that caused some full child support payments to process only partially has been resolved as of October 16, 2026. Our team was able to find a solution and any remaining amount held has now been released to you. Please note that, depending on your method of payment and financial institution, it may take additional time for the funds to reach you.   

We understand that changes to the child support system can bring questions and concerns, especially when it involves your family and your payments. We know waiting for answers can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience.

Our phone representatives and email responders are experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of inquiries as we help customers navigate the new system. Our team is working hard to respond to your questions, monitor feedback, and update our FAQs with helpful information.

Some features work differently in the new system, and we’re committed to supporting you through this transition.

We’ll share important information and updates as they become available on Facebook and Instagram @ilchildsupport, follow us today for the latest updates.
