This form is used by courts and CSEAs when calculating the
amount of child support to be paid pursuant to the support order unless the combined
annual income of the parents is less than the minimum or more than the maximum
guideline income listed on this form. Changes to this form include, pursuant to division (C) of
section 3119.021 of the Revised Code, updated the basic child support schedule
and self-sufficiency reserve to reflect United States Department of Labor changes
in the Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U)[1] and for changes
in the federal poverty level amount for a single person as reported by the United
States Department of Health and Human Services. The basic child support schedule has been updated in the
guideline income column for the percentage difference (124.6354963%) between the
December 2022 CPI-U (296.797) and the March 2016 CPI-U (238.132). The self-sufficiency reserve incorporated into the basic
child support schedule has been updated based on 116% of the federal poverty level
amount for a single person, using the 2023 Poverty Guidelines for the 48 Contiguous
States and the District of Columbia, as reported by the United States Department
of Health and Human Services (see 88 Federal Register 12, p. 3424[2]). |
