Quote (emphasis mine):

The best way to reduce the total national child support debt is to avoid accumulating arrears in the first place. The best ways to avoid the accumulation of arrears are to set appropriate orders initially, modify orders via simple procedures promptly when family circumstances change, and immediately intervene when current support is not paid. Parents should share in the cost of supporting their children according to their ability. Designing a system that establishes appropriate orders will encourage payment of child support.

"10% (of child support debtors) have bank accounts"

"significant number were receiving federal benefits, such as Social Security and Unemployment Insurance benefits"

Jesus. I wonder when society will stop painting all these people as 'deadbeats' who refuse to pay because they're evil and start reporting that most of them simply don't have the means to.

America is insane.

States report that over $90 billion has accumulated in unpaid child support since the inception of the federal child support program in 1975.

• 10 % have bank accounts. The value of these accounts is in excess of $1 billion.
o Over 11,000 debtors had accounts in excess of $10,000. • A significant number were receiving federal benefits, such as Social Security and Unemployment Insurance benefits, which are attachable to pay child support. • Some appeared in the National Directory of New Hires, indicating new employment. • For others, a Federal tax refund offset to pay child support occurred. • Others were incarcerated.

These men are slaves.
