Duplicate Case Transfers Cycle of a Case - Department of Child Support Services, Sacramento County

Are you a custodial parent who has been on aid with your family in multiple counties? Are you a non-custodial parent who owes arrears to several counties for the same children? A program has been implemented by the State of California that may assist you if the above situations sound familiar.

Duplicate Case Transfers are helping custodial and non-custodial parents alike consolidate their cases for the same individuals to one county that can manage their case entirely. For custodial parents, this means that their support (both current and arrears) will be collected in one county. In most instances that county will be the one the custodial party is receiving aid in or in which aid was last received. For non-custodial parents, this means that they will be paying their support to only one county instead of multiple counties. Duplicate case transfers will decrease the number of multiple cases for the same individuals and will minimize the number of wage garnishments a non-custodial parent has at his/her place of employment. If you think your case is eligible for a duplicate case transfer or if you have questions regarding a current transfer that may be in progress, please contact our Public Service Center at 916-875-7400 or 1-866-901-3212.
