As Child Support Awareness Month comes to a close, we recognize the important role child support services play in helping children and families thrive.

In Federal Fiscal Year 2025:
• 12 million children received child support services nationwide
• $29.3 billion in child support was collected
• 74% of payments were made through automatic paycheck withholding, helping provide reliable and consistent support
• $4.01 was collected for every $1 spent, making child support one of the most cost-effective federal programs
• 63 Tribal child support programs served 56,000 children while honoring Tribal values and cultures
• $617 million in medical support helped children access the care they need

Although Child Support Awareness Month is ending, our commitment to supporting families continues throughout the year.

🎒📚 Celebrating Child Support Services Month!

This August, we’re celebrating Child Support Services Month and the important work the Stanislaus County Department of Child Support Services does to support children and families in our community.

Did you know 1 in 6 children in Stanislaus County utilizes Child Support Services? That means the department plays an important role in helping local families access the financial support and resources they need.

To help local students start the school year ready to learn, the department recently distributed more than 1,000 backpacks! 🎒

Thank you to our Child Support Services team and everyone who helped make this event possible. Wishing all of our local students a wonderful, successful, and exciting school year! 📚✏️
