What the agency says
In an effort to make child support regulations consistent with recent rulemaking and updated Tribal child support processes and reporting, this direct final rule (DFR) makes technical updates reflect the current name of the child support program, Office of Child Support Services (OCSS). This is a conforming update to align with the Federal Register notice changing the office's name in the Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority that was published on June 5, 2023, and updates based on the Elimination of the Tribal Non-Federal Share Requirement final rule issued on February 12, 2024.
