Administrative History
The Division of Child Support Enforcement supervises and monitors the operation of the child support enforcement program in New York State including locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and collecting child support. The Division was created in 1975 in response to federal legislation (section D of Title IV of the Social Security Law) which established the Office of Child Support Enforcement within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Each state that participates in this program must develop a plan for its child support enforcement program.
Each local social service district in New York State operates a support collection unit which collects family court ordered support payments and enforces the court order when support payments become delinquent. Records in this series document the development and implementation of policies and procedures to support local social service districts and the clients.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
