S. C. 1983 suit against petitioner, the director of the state child support agency, claiming, among other things, that they properly applied for child support services ; that, despite their good faith efforts to cooperate, the agency never took adequate steps to obtain child support payments for them ; that these omissions were largely attributable to staff shortages and other structural defects in the State 's program ; and that these systemic failures violated their individual rights under Title IV-D to have all mandated services delivered in substantial compliance with the title and its implementing regulations. They requested broad relief, including a declaratory judgment that the Arizona program 's operation violates Title IV -D provisions creating rights in them that are enforceable through a 1983 action, and an injunction requiring the director to achieve substantial compliance with Title IV-D throughout all programmatic operations. The District Court granted summary judgment for petitioner, but the Ninth Circuit reversed. Without distinguishing among the numerous provisions of the complex Title IV-D program or the many rights those provisions might have created, the latter court held that respondents had an enforceable individual right to have the State achieve " substantial compliance '' with Title IV-D. It also disagreed with the District Court 's conclusion that Congress had foreclosed private Title IV-D enforcement actions by authorizing the Secretary of Health and Human Services ( Secretary ) to audit and cut off funds to States whose programs do not substantially comply with Title IV-D 's requirements Held : Title IV-D does not give individuals a federal right to force a state agency to substantially comply with Title IV-D. Pp.340-349. ( a ) A plaintiff seeking 1983 redress must assert the violation of a federal right, not merely of federal law. Golden State Transit Corp. v. Los Angeles, 493 U. S. 103, 106. Three principal factors determine whether a statutory provision creates a privately enforceable right : ( 1 ) whether the plaintiff is an intended beneficiary of the statute ; ( 2 ) whether the plaintiff 's asserted interests are not so vague and amor-phous as to be beyond the competence of the judiciary to enforce ; and ( 3 ) whether the statute imposes a binding obligation on the State. See, e. g., Wilder v. Virginia Hospital Assn., 496 U. S. 498, 509. Even if a plaintiff demonstrates such a right, however, there is only a rebuttable presumption that it is enforceable under 1983. Dismissal is proper if Congress specifically foreclosed a 1983 remedy, Smith v. Robinson, 468 U. S. 992, 1005, n. 9, 1003, either expressly, by forbidding recourse to 1983 in the statute itself, or impliedly, by creating a comprehensive enforcement scheme that is incompatible with individual 1983 enforcement, Livadas v. Bradshaw, 512 U. S. 107, 133. pp. 340-341. ( b ) Respondents have not established that Title IV-D gives them individually enforceable federal rights. In prior cases, the Court has been able to determine whether or not a statute created such rights because the plaintiffs articulated, and lower courts evaluated, welldefined claims. See, e. g., Wright v. Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority, 479 U. S. 418, 430. Here, respondents have not identified with particularity the rights they claim, and the Ninth Circuit has not engaged in the requisite methodical inquiry. That court erred in apparently holding that individuals have an enforceable right to " substantial compliance '' with Title IV-D in all respects. The statutory " substantial compliance '' requirement, see, e. g., 42 U. S. C. 609 ( a ) ( 8 ) ( 1994 ed., Supp. II ), does not give rise to individual rights ; it was not intended to benefit individual children and custodial parents, but is simply a yardstick for the Secretary to measure the systemwide performance of a State 's Title IV-D program, allowing her to increase the frequency of audits and reduce the State 's federal grant upon a finding of substantial noncompliance. The Court of Appeals also erred in taking a blanket approach to determining whether Title IV-D creates rights : It is readily apparent that many of the provisions of that multifaceted statutory scheme, including its " substantial compliance '' standard and data processing, staffing, and organizational requirements, do not fit any of the traditional criteria for identifying statutory rights. Although this Court does not foreclose the possibility that some Title IV-D provisions give rise to individual rights, the Ninth Circuit did not separate out the particular rights it believed arise from the statutory scheme, the complaint is less than clear in this regard, and it is not certain whether respondents sought any relief more specific than a declaration that their " rights '' were being violated and an injunction forcing petitioner to " substantially comply '' with all of Title IV-D 's provisions. This defect is best addressed by sending the case back for the District Court to construe the complaint in the first instance, in order to determine exactly what rights, considered in their most concrete, specific form, respondents are asserting. Only by manageably breaking down the 42 U.S. Code 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officers judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia. 12 U.S. Code 411 - Issuance to reserve banks ; nature of obligation ; redemption Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues.
