If you or someone you know is affected by family and domestic violence, we can help you access our payments and connect you to other support.
Family and domestic violence isn’t always physical. It may be controlling, coercive, emotional, sexual, financial, elder, cultural, or technology facilitated abuse.
We have support available like social workers and we’ll check if you can get any payment from us.
We can also help you collect child support and identify options if you have a debt.
It’s important you know how to keep your information with us safe when leaving any relationship.
