Facts Sheets - Program and Policy

In an effort to educate its customers and external stakeholders about the child support program, CSDA researches and publishes program and policy based fact sheets on important topics that impact the child support community. The CSDA Fact Sheet Workgroup is comprised of members that work in all aspects of the child support program and members work closely with the CSDA Board of Directors and the CSDA Education Committee during the fact sheet review process.

These fact sheets are used to outreach in many local child support agencies (LCSAs) and we encourage you to click on the following links to download additional copies.

If you would like to find out more about this workgroup, or if you have ideas for future fact sheets, please contact the Fact Sheet Workgroup Chair, Pam Posehn.
