Abstract:
When TANF assistance is paid to a family, the family must assign its child support to the state, and, typically, the family receives little or no benefit from the support that has been paid. However, states can act to ensure that families get the benefit of child support paid by nonresident parents. This set of an overheads, from a presentation to TANF and child support administrators at a meeting of the American Public Human Services Association, explains how states can ensure that families benefit from child support.
