FY2026 tribal child support comprehensive grant

The Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria received an $882,353.47 block grant from the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563) for the fiscal year 2026 award period (October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026). This award supports Title IV-D tribal child support enforcement operations, enabling the tribe to establish and enforce parental support obligations, locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child, spousal, and medical support services. The funding provides matching federal financial participation and performance-based incentive resources to sustain the tribe's child support enforcement infrastructure and administrative operations.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Bear River Band operates its child support enforcement services under an approved Title IV-D plan and maintains compliance with applicable federal regulations, including record-keeping requirements under 45 CFR Part 75. This block grant represents part of the tribe's broader federal grant portfolio spanning social services, infrastructure, and community development, and is consistent with the program's ongoing support for tribal comprehensive child support services, which typically range from approximately $391,000 to $11.1 million per tribal recipient.
