SCHIP Reauthorization: President Proposes Insufficient Funding for Healthy Families
This Budget Brief, which describes the need for an additional $2 billion to $3 billion in federal funds over the next five years to support the Healthy Families Program, has been updated to reflect the President's Proposed Budget for federal fiscal year 2008.
Back Where It Belongs: California Can Use New Flexibility to Increase Child Support Paid to Families
Child support provides a crucial source of income for children who are not living with both parents. However, families who receive - or formerly received - cash assistance through the CalWORKs Program do not receive all of their child support. The state and federal governments retain a portion of these payments in order to recoup the cost of cash benefits. This new Budget Brief examines how recent changes in federal law could increase the amount of child support paid to these families.
