Services OCSE Provides
OCSE does not provide services directly to families. Instead, we help child support agencies in the states and tribes develop, manage and operate their programs effectively and according to federal law. We:
- Financially support child support program operations
- Provide grants for state access & visitation programs
- Provide policy guidance and technical help
- Conduct audits and educational programs
- Support research and provide grants for program improvement
- Operate the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) and the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH)
- Work with states to provide limited enforcement services, such as federal tax refund intercepts and passport denials
- Work with employers and other private and public partners
- Help with intergovernmental child support cases
