Welfare and Child Support Policy Knowledge among Parents of Children on W-2 in Dane County

This report builds on earlier work, and relied on face-to-face interviews with randomly selected fathers of children receiving W-2 benefits, followed, where possible, by an interview with the mother of one of the father’s children. This work again explores the level of knowledge about child support pass-through/disregard policy among parents receiving public assistance in Dane County. It is unique in that it explores the experiences, knowledge, and attitudes of couples—rather than focusing on results by gender—associated with W-2 and also allows for comparisons across and within races.
