Governor Kathy Hochul recently issued a proclamation designating August as Child Support Awareness Month, which is recognized nationally each year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cChild Support Awareness Month is a great time to reflect on the success of New York\u2019s child support services while rededicating ourselves to continued innovation in delivering these important services on behalf of children and families,\u201d said Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Commissioner Barbara C. Guinn. \u201cWith the launch earlier this year of a new online enrollment form, it has never been easier for parents to access these vital services, as well as an expanded range of information regarding their individual cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This year marks the 50th anniversary of New York State\u2019s Child Support Program, which has collected more than $50 billion over the past five decades on behalf of families. Child support is an important source of income for the families served by the program and provides critical financial support to families to help improve child well-being.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The program assists parents in obtaining financial support and medical insurance coverage for their children by locating the other parent, establishing paternity if needed, establishing and modifying support orders, and collecting and distributing child support payments. The program serves nearly 536,000 children, collecting more than $1.67 billion annually on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The program is overseen by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and administered by local departments of social services in New York State\u2019s 57 counties, as well as New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to acknowledging the program\u2019s longevity, the Governor\u2019s proclamation also recognizes the efforts of child support professionals who, \u201cdisplay commendable commitment, respect, and empathy for others in the fulfillment of their duties and work hard to consistently provide outstanding customer service for the benefit of children and families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For more information on New York\u2019s Child Support Program, visit childsupport.ny.gov.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt aligncenter size-full wp-image-63203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/city400_20-_20Rockland_20County_20New_20York_1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"804\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is highlighting the 50th Anniversary of the Child&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":194117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,104,33732,425,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-194116","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-featured-news","11":"tag-local","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115134757931325564","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
