Human Services Topics
As the third largest assistance provider in the country, the child support program serves nearly 20 percent of US children.
Mathematica’s work in child support includes conducting national evaluations of key child support policies and services, developing learning agendas that drive research priorities, and creating tools to help programs collect customer input for program improvement. We provide information to policymakers and practitioners that helps child support programs improve the economic well-being of children and their families.
