Tlingit & Haida is proud to announce that its Tribal Child Support Unit (TCSU) has reached its benchmark goal of collecting and distributing over $1 million in child support during the fiscal year (FY) 2018.

This success was a longstanding goal of the TCSU, which is a federally-funded Tribal IV-D child support service that first opened its doors in early 2007. TCSU works extensively with other state and Tribal IV-D agencies to establish paternity, locate absent parents; and establish and enforce child support orders, and collect and distribute child support payments.
