CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES
Child Support Services provides services
mandated by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
The department is operated by the County,
administered by the State Department of Child
Support Services, and provides services to all
families regardless of their economic situation.
The program works with parents and guardians to
ensure children and families receive courtordered financial and medical support. Services
include locating a parent; establishing paternity;
establishing, modifying and enforcing a court
order for child support; and establishing,
modifying and enforcing an order for health
coverage. The department helps recoup partial
welfare costs for the County and State through this
collection activity. Since 2002, the counties of
Santa Cruz and San Benito have operated a
regional department of Child Support Services,
with Santa Cruz acting as the lead agency.
