Abstract:
This fact sheet describes proposals that would make personal financial data and law enforcement authority used by state child support agencies available to commercial child support collection agencies and other private child support collectors. While the proposal may sound innocuous on the surface, its adoption would be very detrimental to low-income families and raises serious privacy concerns.
