2. Determine how many applications you must complete. Each "family group" requires a separate application. For example:

  • I have two children with the same father and mother: I need to complete ONE application.
  • I am the mother of two children, but each has a different father: I need to complete TWO applications.
  • I am the father of three children, but one has a different mother: I need to complete TWO applications.
  • I am the mother of one child, but there are two men who could possibly be the father: I need to complete TWO applications.
  • I am taking care of two grandchildren. Each has a different father and mother. I need to complete TWO applications.
    IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MANY APPLICATIONS TO COMPLETE, PLEASE CALL THE TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED BELOW.

3. Complete the application for services. Be sure that your application is complete and submitted successfully. Incomplete applications can delay opening your child support case and can delay approval of your cash assistance or medical assistance. If your application is not complete, you may be requested to submit a new application and new supporting documents. ORS will not receive your application if your confirmation page does not show a successful submission. You will need to resubmit your application if the submission was unsuccessful.

4. Submit COPIES of the following documents. Once you have completed your online application, print the Confirmation of Submission page that includes the assigned application number. Mail the confirmation page and the following supporting documents to the address listed below.

  1. COPIES of all support orders for these children.
  2. COPIES of each child's birth certificate if the child was not born in Utah. (If your child(ren) was born in Utah, ORS will obtain the birth certificate for you.)
  3. COPIES of paternity establishment documents if paternity has already been legally established for any of the children. (If paternity was established by a Utah Voluntary Declaration of Paternity, ORS will obtain a copy of that document for you.)
  4. A COPY of the death certificate or obituary if either parent is deceased.

DO NOT SUBMIT ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. KEEP ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS WITH YOUR PERSONAL RECORDS. ORS CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING OR RETURNING ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS.
