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.

New brief from FRPN's @jsdeanda & @rwildfeuer shares how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) reshapes access to benefits for dads—especially low-income & noncustodial fathers.

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

As we close out #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, @thefatherfactor highlights the importance of peer support—via family (re)connection and peer relationships— in supporting #incarcerated dads' #mentalhealth https://t.co/8Tvpvat7Fz

“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.”

The data used by @KathrynEdin and Sarah (Gold) Pachman for this study was made possible by @FFCWS, the longest-running birth cohort study in the United States based on a national probability sample. https://t.co/XhfGGN31lz

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.https://t.co/0tUfXGYkQe

A new @The_FRPN report by CPR's
@jsdeanda covers three policies— state min wages, earned income tax credits, and child tax credits— that can help to boost low-income fathers' earnings and ability to support their children. https://t.co/PXzhwacUsp

[Center for Policy Research @CPR_Denver]

@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

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!
