Child Support Enforcement: Departures from Long Term Trends in Sources of Collections and Caseloads Reflect Recent Economic Conditions
GAO examined (1) how CSE collections and caseloads have changed in recent years, (2) how states have responded to federal funding changes, and (3) how states have responded to DRA’s “family first” policy options. GAO reviewed laws, HHS policy documents, and CSE caseload, collections, and expenditure data and interviewed HHS officials, child support experts, and CSE officials in 10 states selected for variation in program size and geography.
