    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a change in the name of the Office of Child Support Enforcement to the Office of Child Support Services. This change was initially set to take effect on March 3, 2025, but HHS has reopened the comment period and delayed the effective date to April 28, 2025, so they can review any questions or comments from the public. People can submit their feedback electronically or by mail. If there are significant concerns, HHS may further delay or withdraw the rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to change the name of a group that helps with child support from "Enforcement" to "Services" and is asking people to give their thoughts on it, which is why they're waiting a bit longer to decide.

    The Department of Health and Human Services has updated the name of the child support program from the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to the Office of Child Support Services (OCSS). This change aligns the program with its commitment to support entire families rather than just enforce child support. Additionally, the rule removes outdated terms and updates sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to reflect the new name and facilitate modern Tribal processes and reporting for child support programs. These updates aim to enhance family self-sufficiency and clarity in regulations without imposing any financial impact.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Health and Human Services changed the office's name from the Office of Child Support Enforcement to the Office of Child Support Services so it sounds nicer and is easier to understand for families they help. They're also updating some rules to be clear and up-to-date without costing any more money.
