What questions does the CSDE address?
The Child Support Demonstration Evaluation (CSDE) looks at both direct effects of the child support pass-through policy on child support paid and received, and a wide range of potential secondary effects. Specifically, the evaluation looks at the effects of the pass-through on: • Orders and paternity establishment • Formal and informal child support collections • W-2 and related program costs • Employment and income of the custodial parent • Employment and income of the noncustodial parent • Noncustodial parent’s involvement with the child and • Child well-being.
