No, DYFS (Division of Youth and Family Services) is a state service. Not all states use this name. Many states use another name for the state agency that is asked to deal with child abuse and neglect, and possibly other issues regarding children. CPS (Child Protective Services) is one name that a number of states use.

In New Jersey, the state has recently (early 2012) changed the name of DYFS to DCPP (Division of Child Protection and Permanency). Both the old agency and the new agency were / are part of New Jersey Department of Children and Families.
