The award funds the establishment and enforcement of child support obligations owed by absent parents, location of absent parents, paternity establishment, and collection of child, spousal, and medical support. Delaware's Division of State Service Centers administers the state's Title IV-D child support enforcement plan under an approved State IV-D plan. The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Delaware.

The program is subject to inspection and audit by the DHHS Office of Inspector General, state audits, and other federal officials, with data reliability verification of variables used to compute performance measures mandated under the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998.
