Child Support Awareness Month - August 2023

As in years past, the California Department of Child Support Services has announced August as Child Support Awareness Month statewide. 

The Shasta County Department of Child Support Services, being the county agency charged with the administration of the child support program in Shasta County, and in further pursuit of seeking new and innovative ways of enforcing orders for support, strongly believes that the children in Shasta County deserve the financial, health care, and emotional support of both parents.

The department currently assists 9,118 families, of which 5,882 families are former recipients of government cash aid. In the 12 months, ending May 31, 2023, the department collected and disbursed just under $17.2 million in current and past due child support.
