Abstract:
In August of 2000, the Medical Child Support Working Group issued a report recommending over 70 changes in medical child support that would facilitate the enrollment of more children being raised in single-parent families in public and private health care coverage. While efforts to implement the recommendations at the federal level have been slow, many states have moved ahead and developed innovative approaches to medical support establishment and enforcement. This memo updates state developments over the last two years.
