Dear ACF Region [NUMBER] Office, My name is [YOUR NAME] and I live in [CITY], [STATE], in your region. I am writing to ask the Administration for Children and Families to freeze Title IV-D family court funds due to fraud concerns, and to audit them, in my state and in all 50 states. I am also asking ACF to create a public tip line and a case-submission process so families can report what happened in their cases directly, and to release a waste, fraud and abuse screening questionnaire for families. Families across the country are putting their experiences on the record. I am one of the voices asking you to look. Thank you for your service. [YOUR NAME] [CITY, STATE] [YOUR EMAIL]

Constituent request: oversight of Title IV-D child support enforcement spending

Email body — fill in the [brackets] before sending

Dear [Representative/Senator LAST NAME], My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am your constituent in [CITY], [STATE]. I am writing to ask your office to review the payment integrity of the federal Title IV-D child support enforcement program. The federal government's own FY2024 data (HHS Administration for Children and Families) shows the program spent $6.6 billion in total — about $4 billion of it federal — reimbursing 66% of allowable state administrative costs. Meanwhile, $115.7 billion in past-due support remains owed nationally, of which about $7.5 billion was collected last year. A federal audit proposal prepared for the administration's waste, fraud and abuse task force calls for the first case-level review in the program's 50-year history of what those reimbursements actually pay for. It has been submitted to the Executive Office of the President and is under review. The administration can take action on this proposal now — no new legislation is required — and congressional interest helps it move. As your constituent, I respectfully ask that you: 1. Urge the administration — HHS and the Administration for Children and Families — to take action on the proposed FREEZE and case-level audit of Title IV-D reimbursements, starting with our state; 2. Request a briefing from HHS/ACF on Title IV-D payment integrity, and support a public tip line and case-submission process so families can report directly; 3. Review the independent family-reported public record at StandwithMeg.com — more than 5,635 families across all 50 states and D.C. have documented their family court experiences there, reporting $979.8M in financial losses. Families in our state are watching this issue closely, and I would welcome your office's response. Respectfully, [YOUR NAME] [STREET ADDRESS · CITY, STATE ZIP] [EMAIL · PHONE]
