Block Grant 2501MASCSS

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts received a $60,869,005 federal Block Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563). The purpose of this grant is to enforce child support obligations, locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child, spousal, and medical support orders. This funding supports a range of services, including case management, wage garnishment, and payment disbursement, to ensure children receive adequate financial support from their parents. As a prime recipient, Massachusetts may sub-award portions of the grant to local governments, educational institutions, and community organizations across the state to deliver these services at the local level.
