There are some public policies that many do no understand impact tens of millions of children in the United States. The 2016 final rule changes to the U.S. Child Support Services system will increase opportunities for payments to go to children basing on the ability to provide support. This and other changes will foster opportunities to increase child wellness, strengthen families and co-parenting....

The goal is to set realistic orders so that noncustodial parents pay regularly, rather than setting an unrealistically high order that results in higher rates of nonpayment. At the same time, states retain flexibility in the level of orders they set. The change will also allow those who are supporting parents that lack resources, in very praticial manners access to new information for noncustodial parents that with effective services, will help in the process of tranformation for change.

We facilitated a release of two 2015 winter briefs on the Elimination of Poverty. In 2016, we will go to Jamaica to support the overwhelming homes in poverty.
