| ODJFS has been publishing the Ohio Child Support "Most Wanted" Poster since 1992, when the initiative was established by Senate Bill 10. The goal of the poster is to locate non-residential parents whose whereabouts are unknown and who are seriously negligent in paying child support. The poster is published bi-annually and features ten non-residental parents from throughout the state.
Written permission (ODJFS 07021) from the residential parent is required for a non-residential parent to become a candidate for inclusion on the poster. The non-residential parent must not be known to be a recipient of Ohio Works First (OWF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Food Stamps (FS), or have filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
Each poster includes photographs and information about 10 selected non-residential parents. Each selected non-residential parent is provided with a 90-day grace period to come into compliance with the CSEA after receipt of the Notice to Obligor (ODJFS 07022): Inclusion on Poster. The non-residential parent can come into compliance by completing all of the following:
- Making a payment to the CSEA at least equal to the current monthly obligation
- Providing the CSEA with a current address
- Providing the CSEA with evidence from each current employer of current wages, salary, and other compensation
- Providing the CSEA with evidence that arrangements have been made for withholding from wages, salary, or other compensation
