Federal Child Support Law Symbols Explained

The United States Code and Code of Federal Regulations: U.S.C. & C.F.R.

The United States Code is a set of law books that house all the laws enacted at the federal level. These laws are put into order by their subject matter and then given titles and code numbers. This process is known as codification. The code that child support laws are housed in is called “The Public Health and Welfare” code and is numbered Title 42. Also in Title 42 is the Social Security Act. Child Support is part IV-D of the Social Security Act. That is why the agencies that handle child support are often referred to as IV-D (“four-D”) agencies.

The Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) is a codification of the rules published by Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The part of the C.F.R. that deals with child support is Title 45-Public Welfare. Chapter III of Title 45 is where the rules for the Office of Child Support Enforcement- the agency responsible for the collections of child support- are located.

This background information should make understanding the laws and some of the language easier to comprehend for those unfamiliar with legal research when reading through this manual.
