Whew goodness gracious I'm so glad to be almost done with this child support department!! Every call it's something different being told to me. For parents who pay, make sure you make the drive to the headquarters and turn in your child's graduation program and your ID bc they'll swear they didn't recieve the fax. I was told 90 days to close a child support case. Now im told itll be up to another 90 days. Wow, and why?? Is SC pocketing my money ? These guys and girls are so very understaffed and it's awful for the people on the other side. Everyone on the phone is just plain out uninformed. Some are friendly, some, you can tell they do not want to be bothered and barely listen, let alone help you. In person they are super. Still, give more staff ! That's not entirely their fault. SC get it together!

What good is calling or going to your local county office? The phone call is a joke. I have been on hold for 7 hours. It keeps saying "Your wait time is more or less than 45 minutes. Charleston County DSS office tells you call number to make appt.

Yes this true... The hold time is long. You maybe able to ask for a face to face interview with the county office instead of the phone interview.

Depends on your expenses. If you're paying rent or mortgage and utilities it helps when getting a higher benefit amount
