In Everybody's Best Interests: Why Reforming Child Support Distribution Makes Sense for Government and Families
From Center for Law and Social Policy:
by Vicki Turetsky. More than 17 million children are served by the public child support program-but many never see the funds collected on their behalf. Instead, collections are used to recoup the public costs of families' welfare cash assistance. Although welfare cost recovery was one of the initial goals of the child support program, recent proposals to reform the policy would shift the primary emphasis to family support. This brief describes the regulations governing assignment and distribution of funds, and how families and government alike stand to benefit from the direct pass-through of child support payments to children. Pub No. 05-38. 8 pages. Read more from this post.
