💙Child Support by the Numbers

Child support makes a real difference for millions of children and families every day. Here's a look at the impact nationwide in Fiscal Year 2025:

👧 12 million children received child support services.
💵 $29.3 billion was collected to help meet children's everyday needs.
💼 74% of payments were made through automatic paycheck withholding, providing reliable and consistent support for families.
📈 For every $1 invested in the child support program, $4.01 was collected—making it one of the most cost-effective federal programs.
🪶 63 Tribal Child Support Programs served 56,000 children with services that reflect tribal values and cultures.
🏥 $617 million in medical support helped children access the healthcare they need.
