DCS Recession Response Program
On May 6th, 2009 Attorney General John Kroger declared that Oregon is in a period of significant unemployment for purposes of establishing and modifying child support obligations. This declaration allows the Oregon Child Support program to move more quickly to temporarily modify support for parents who have experienced an employment related change of income. Under Attorney General Kroger's leadership, the practitioners within the Child Support Program developed a proposed expedited modification process. The legislature authorized this process in response to the current economic crisis with the passage of House Bill 2275. These modifications are temporary and are anticipated to last six months. Regular review and change of circumstance modifications are still available though your local assigned support office.
