The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, announced the withdrawal of a rule initially published on December 31, 2024, that aimed to update regulations and change the name of the child support program in the Code of Federal Regulations. This withdrawal, effective April 23, 2025, was due to significant negative feedback received during a comment period. The rule had been previously delayed with the intent to reopen it for further public comments but will not be proceeding as planned.
Simple Explanation
The government planned to change the name of a program that helps parents support their children and update some rules, but after people said they didn't like the idea, they decided not to go through with the changes.
