Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan to reform the child support system in the United States. It was developed by the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and released in 2014. The plan outlines a series of goals and objectives for improving the system, with a focus on increasing the number of children receiving child support, the amount of support they receive, and the consistency of support payments.
One of the key components of Project 2025 is a focus on increasing the use of administrative processes to establish and enforce child support orders. This includes using state child support agencies to establish orders without the need for court involvement, and using wage withholding and other administrative remedies to enforce orders. Project 2025 also calls for increased use of technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the child support system, such as online portals for parents to access information and make payments.
