Make Child Support enforcement a Federal Program. Despite record child support collections by state child support programs, considerable sums of child support go unpaid every year.These large amounts of arrears are disturbing for many reasons. Most of these arrears are owed to custodial families who would benefit if they were collected. Second, some of these arrears are owed to the government. If these arrears were collected, it would improve the cost effectiveness of the child support program. Making it a Federal program would put all records in one place, reduce cost and make it a more efficient program. They should also be connected to the IRS so they are able to quickly locate the non-custodial.
