FY2026 Tribal Child Support Comprehensive Grant Summary

The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) received a $1,034,193.66 block grant award from the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This award supports CTUIR's comprehensive child support enforcement operations, which focus on locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and obtaining child, spousal, and medical support obligations for tribal members and eligible populations within their jurisdiction in Oregon.

As a federally recognized tribal government, CTUIR leverages this funding to administer child support enforcement services consistent with federal Title IV-D requirements and tribal sovereignty. The grant enables CTUIR to maintain the administrative and legal infrastructure necessary to enforce support obligations, process cases, and ensure financial responsibility from both parents. This award aligns with CTUIR's broader portfolio of federal funding, which exceeds $15 million across multiple agencies, and demonstrates the tribe's established capacity to deliver comprehensive social services and compliance-driven programs to its community while meeting federal performance and accountability standards under the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998.
