Attorneys, Office Managers, Supervisors or Child Support Workers are authorized to endorse the insurance check for worker’s compensation and personal injury settlements on behalf of DHS/CSS. Contact your CSS Attorney and/or Management and seek instructions and authority to accept the payment. Please do not send anyone away that is trying to make payment toward a CSS case.
Center for Coordinated Programs staff are negotiating, via phone and email, for the amount to be paid to CSS. The final agreement between CSS and the NCP (and their Attorneys) will be case logged. At that point, WC/PI Attorneys will be directed to the CSS Office which is most convenient to them.
CSS will receive an Attorneys Trust account check for the amount to be paid to CSS. Write a receipt for the check, and mail the check immediately to the Centralized Support Registry. Please make sure the AP number is noted in the memo. Case log the receipt and put the CSS payment check in the mail.
The WC/PI Attorney will need a signature on behalf of DHS/CSS on the Insurance check. Please sign your name, and then write “for CSS”. You do this on the back of the check, at the top.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the CCP Liens staff at 405-522-2674 or CS.Liens@okdhs.org.
