When child support is paid, how much of it should reach the family directly? 🤔

A recent article from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities looks at how states are approaching child support pass-through policies for those families that receive TANF. It is a quick, worthwhile read for anyone who follows child support policy.

Although some states have been adopting policies that redirect or “pass through” child support payments to families, other states continue to keep all collections intended for some of the families with the lowest incomes in the country as revenue.

September is National Recovery Month, a time to recognize the strength it takes to work toward recovery, as well as the families and professionals who support that effort.

To everyone on that path, and to those walking beside them, this month is a reminder that the work matters. You can find out more about this important month below. 💜

With the right treatment, support, and resources, recovery is possible for everyone. Use this Toolkit to learn more about what SAMHSA is doing to support people in recovery and how to share this information with your audiences.
