Offset and Administrative Offset
(Federal Offset) programs collect pastdue child and spousal support by

and are delinquent. The Federal Offset
Program is a cooperative effort among
the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau
of the Fiscal Service, the federal Office
of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE),
and state child support enforcement
agencies.
The Passport Denial Program reports
noncustodial parents who owe child
and spousal support above a threshold
to the Department of State, which will
then deny passports to these
individuals.
On an ongoing basis, child support
enforcement agencies submit to OCSE
the names, Social Security numbers,
and the amount(s) of past-due child and
spousal support of noncustodial parents
who are delinquent in making
payments.

refund of the noncustodial parent; (2) 31
U.S.C. 3701 et seq., 31 U.S.C. 3716(h),
and 31 CFR 285.1, which require state
child support agencies to submit
information pertaining to past-due
support cases meeting specific criteria
for the administrative offset of federal
payments other than federal tax refunds
of the noncustodial parent; (3) 42 U.S.C.
652(k), 42 U.S.C. 654(31), and 22 CFR
51.60, which require state child support
agencies to submit information to OCSE
pertaining to past-due support cases
meeting specific criteria for the denial,
revocation, restriction, or limitation of
the passport of the noncustodial parent;
and (4) 42 U.S.C. 654(31), 42 U.S.C. 664,
31 CFR 285.1, and 31 CFR 285.3, which
require state child support agencies to
