Breaking Barriers, Building Equity: Creating a Child Support Program for All Families

NCSEA On Location

Coming to you from Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia, Mariellen Keely (Virginia Child Support) hosts Dr. Shaneen Moore (Deputy Assistant Commissioner and Director of the Child Support Division within the Children and Family Services (CFS) administration of the Minnesota Department of Human Services) and Erin Frisch (current NCSEA President, and Title IV-D Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services). They have a conversation about their workshop from the 2024 ERICSA Training Conference and Expo. They share Minnesota’s Section 1115 grant from OCSS, to examine child support policies and services to assess disproportional access to child support services, determine if orders reflect a true ability to pay, and to improve child support services to families.
