Grants and Waivers

Current as of:

OCSS administers grant-funded demonstration projects, waivers, and other research-related partnerships to produce the best outcomes for children and families.

Under authority of Section 1115(a) of the Social Security Act, we offer grant opportunities periodically (based on available funding each year) to state and tribal child support agencies, or their state umbrella agencies. Section 1115 demonstration grants must be used for research and to improve the child support program. Each funding opportunity is unique, and applications must respond to the outlined project goals and requirements in the announcement.
