Custodial Parents’ Experience with the Child Support Program

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) is releasing a series of stakeholder resources that analyzes data from the 2023 Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement (CPS-CSS). In 2023, the CPS-CSS added new questions for custodial parents about their experience working with the child support program. This OCSS resource explains the custodial parents experience with the child support program, and highlights reasons why parents reported difficulty accessing the child support program.
