 Child Support Enforcement: More Focus on Labor Costs
&
Administrative Cost Audits Could Help Reduce Federal Expenditures
From fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2004, total net federal
expenditures for administrative costs of child support enforcement (the cost after deducting
child support collections for families receiving benefits from other
government programs) increased by about 23%. After adjusting for
inflation, total net federal expenditures increased from about $2.2
billion in 2000, to $2.8 billion in 2004. Also, during this period, collections
increased by about 12%, about $19 billion to $22 billion, and the
program's cost effectiveness measure (the ratio of collections to
total administrative expenditures) increased about four percent.
