Join us for an insightful Web Talk on "Child Support Passthrough and Distribution" on September 16, 2025, from 2:00-3:15PM ET. Speakers: • Jane Venohr • Bryan Tribble • Michael Adrian • Larry Desbien Register today: online.ncsea.org/upcoming-events
New brief from FRPN's @jsdeanda & @RWildfeuer shares how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) reshapes access to benefits for dads—especially low-income & noncustodial fathers. Read here ➡️ frpn.org/asset/new-law-… #fatherhood #policy
Big move in #txlege: Bills HB 4213 & SB 629 would cut child support debt interest from 6% ➡️ 3%. This isn’t about leniency—it’s about equity. Lower rates make it possible for parents to repay and move forward. A step toward a more just system. #ChildSupport #Equity
As we close out #mentalhealthAwarenessMonth, @thefatherfactor highlights the importance of peer support—via family (re)connection and peer relationships— in supporting #incarcerated dads' #mentalhealth fatherhood.org/championing-fa…
“We’re trying to be reassuring to our families,” one state child support director said about Trump’s gutting of regional Head Start offices, “but if the national system goes down, so does ours.” propublica.org/article/how-tr…
The data used by @KathrynEdin and Sarah (Gold) Pachman for this study was made possible by @FFCWS, the longest-running birth cohort study in the United States based on a national probability sample. ffcws.princeton.edu

Expanding value/eligibility for the #EITC for childless workers would boost earnings for #noncustodial parents and their families. Bc state EITCs are typically tied to the federal, fed expansions would subsequently increase state credits for these workers.clasp.org/publications/f…
Center for Policy Research, which directs @The_FRPN, recently published its latest copy of The Blueprint, your one-stop-shop for monthly updates in #fatherhood news, legislation, research, and events. Read and subscribe below!👇myemail.constantcontact.com/News-from-the-…
A new @The_FRPN report by CPR's @jsdeanda covers three policies— state min wages, earned income tax credits, and child tax credits— that can help to boost low-income fathers' earnings and ability to support their children. frpn.org/asset/new-year…

@MDRC_News and @OPRE_ACF identified three common themes for the #fatherhoodprograms that have the greatest impact on #childoutcomes: 1. Tailored to individuals or couples 2. Aimed to strengthen parenting skills/identities 3. Provided job training and/or education

Very excited for this webinar on Tues. I’ll get to talk about my favorite thing: TAX CREDITS! Based on the great new @NiskanenCenter report, there are a number of policy details advocates and policymakers should consider when designing state tax credits to avoid benefit cliffs.

Remote work can't solve the childcare crisis. Treating it as the solution risks forcing parents (especially moms) to be full-time caregivers while also working for pay full-time. And it risks gaslighting parents (especially moms) if they can't manage that impossible task.

Last week, the House passed #HR9076 (and attached bill, #HR7906) to temporarily reauthorize and modernize #TitleIV-B child welfare programs. This package would also strengthen #childsupportenforcement through more efficient administration and spending. Now off to the Senate!
#Research shows that guaranteed #income pilot programs in Texas have demonstrated positive outcomes for #children later in life. In a new op-ed, Urban’s Mary Bogle explores the impacts of these programs and provides recommendations for policymakers. urbn.is/4d3bc7t
@soc_adriana's new study confirms what so many know about single parenthood: Custodial mothers in the #childsupportsystem strategize to financially support their families. They engage in paid work and secure relational and invisible supports. They adapt. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
