Miscellaneous Information
SFY represents the State Fiscal Year, which begins July 1 and runs through June 30 of the following year. For example, SFY 2024 runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
The Covid-19 pandemic which began March 2020 and other external factors have affected most of these statistics for this entire 3-year period. However, paternities are counted 9 months AFTER they were established or acknowledged. So SFY 2022 paternities occurred October 2020 through September 2021 and any post-pandemic recovery was also delayed.
Funding Information
CSS funding structure is made up of two parts: CSS receives 66 percent of its funding from the federal government for reimbursement of most expenses. The remaining 34 percent is a combination of enhanced federal funding for some expenses, federal incentive payments for performance, collections retained for public assistance reimbursement, and state legislative appropriations.
