The Department of Children, Youth, and Families Child Support Division does not endorse or recommend products or services which you may view when you receive a pop-up advertisement on your computer screen while visiting our site.

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families Child Support Division has taken several steps to
safeguard the integrity of its telecommunications and computing infrastructure, including but not
limited to authentication, monitoring, auditing, and encryption. Security measures have
been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day practices of the
Department's entire operating environment as part of its continuing commitment to risk management.
The Web system uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for secure transmission of information. The SSL protocol has become the universal standard on the Web for authenticating sites and for encrypting communications between employers and Web servers. This means that employers can confidently send private data to a web site, trusting that SSL keeps it private and confidential in transit.
Information that is transmitted by e-mail over the Internet is not secure and can be intercepted and read by other Internet users. The Department of Children, Youth, and Families recommends that you do not use e-mail to send private or confidential data about yourself or others unless it has been encoded or encrypted. In addition, the department will e-mail responses that contain private or confidential data only to an employer's secure e-mail address.
Minnesota Child Support Online provides links to other sites as a convenience to its users. The use of these links is not an endorsement as to the accuracy, completeness, usefulness or adequacy of those sites.
We collect and store several common pieces of information about employers: your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the date and time of each visit, and the addresses linked to during the visit to this site.
