The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma has been awarded a $965,609.04 Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563). This grant, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, will fund the Tribal Child Support Services program, which aims to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child and spousal support orders to ensure children receive adequate financial support from their parents. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma will leverage this funding to provide comprehensive case management, wage garnishment, and payment disbursement services to members of the tribal community. The grant award is part of the federal government's efforts to develop interventions that educate teens and young adults about the legal and financial responsibilities of parenthood and promote economic stability and healthy family formation.
