The short, sweet, incredibly insightful truth for any policy researcher and/or policy firm.
Evaluation research DOESN’T need to be complex. It DOES need to be done carefully, thoughtfully and *right*.
Translate: we need more scientists in evaluation research. Count me in.

Big move in #txlege: Bills HB 4213 & SB 629 would cut child support debt interest from 6% ➡️ 3%.
This isn’t about leniency—it’s about equity. Lower rates make it possible for parents to repay and move forward.
A step toward a more just system. #ChildSupport #Equity

“We’re trying to be reassuring to our families,” one state child support director said about Trump’s gutting of regional Head Start offices, “but if the national system goes down, so does ours.”

Expanding value/eligibility for the #EITC for childless workers would boost earnings for #noncustodial parents and their families. Bc state EITCs are typically tied to the federal, fed expansions would subsequently increase state credits for these workers.clasp.org/publications/fact-…

@MDRC_News and @OPRE_ACF identified three common themes for the #fatherhoodprograms that have the greatest impact on #childoutcomes:
1. Tailored to individuals or couples
2. Aimed to strengthen parenting skills/identities
3. Provided job training and/or education

Very excited for this webinar on Tues. I’ll get to talk about my favorite thing: TAX CREDITS! Based on the great new @NiskanenCenter report, there are a number of policy details advocates and policymakers should consider when designing state tax credits to avoid benefit cliffs.

Guaranteeing paid leave isn’t something we do *to* small businesses—it’s a core way we invest in small businesses and a fairer, more competitive economy. americanprogress.org/article…

I want to be clear.
Passing federal paid leave is not a mandate forcing businesses to run and pay out of pocket. It is a program administered by the federal government and in many ways, it is a business support, particularly for small business. It’s good for all bottom lines.

Last week, the House passed #HR9076 (and attached bill, #HR7906) to temporarily reauthorize and modernize #TitleIV-B child welfare programs. This package would also strengthen #childsupportenforcement through more efficient administration and spending. Now off to the Senate!
