FY2026 Tribal Child Support Comprehensive Grant Summary

The Coeur D'Alene Tribe received a $712,749.31 block grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Child Support Enforcement under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563) for the fiscal year October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Through this funding, the tribe administers comprehensive child support enforcement services designed to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child, spousal, and medical support obligations for eligible tribal members. The grant supports the development and implementation of administrative and legal frameworks that ensure children receive financial support from both parents, consistent with Title IV-D of the Social Security Act requirements.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Coeur D'Alene Tribe utilizes these block grant funds to operate its child support enforcement infrastructure, maintain required records and data systems, and deliver direct support services to tribal community members. The award reflects the tribe's established capacity to administer an approved child support plan and perform ongoing performance monitoring and data reliability functions in compliance with 45 CFR Part 75 requirements and The Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998 mandates.
